Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
Intussusception of the bowel in an adult is a rare surgical emergency. Diagnosis is quite simple as the patient presents with features of intestinal obstruction. The causes are varied with adults and infants. Vanek’stumor is an inflammatory fibroid polyp with high eosinophilic infiltration. Vanek’s tumour is a rare cause of intussusception in an adult. Here we present a case of a 40-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain of 3 days onset was diagnosed to have sub-acute intestinal obstruction. On further imaging, he was diagnosed to have intussusception and was taken up for emergency laparotomy. Intraoperatively the intussusception was relieved and the cause was found to be a hard intra-luminal mass. Resection of the mass with 5 cm clearance was done with end to end anastomosis. Histo-pathology revealed an inflammatory fibroid polyp.
