Abstract:
Gastrointestinal tumors can rarely cause intestinal intussusception. Herein, we describe a 74 year-old male with a presumed diagnosis of Crohn's disease who presented with persistent symptoms refractory to medical management. Radiography demonstrated small bowel intussusception into the cecum. Lower endoscopy with biopsy diagnosed small bowel large Bcell lymphoma. Management included laparoscopic ileocecectomy and adjuvant R-CHOP chemotherapy. Long term outcomes of small bowel large B-cell lymphoma are related to disease stage at diagnosis, and average close to 75 %.

Histology of the Small Intestine
The intestinal lining features transverse folds called circular folds, each housing fingerlike projections known as intestinal villi. These villi are covered by a layer of simple columnar epithelium, also referred to as...
Histology of the Large Intestine
The innermost mucosa layer comprises simple columnar epithelium, lamina propria, and muscularis mucosae. This layer is primarily populated with absorptive cells, tasked with water absorption, and goblet cells, responsible for secreting mucus to...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:
Large Intestine
The ileocecal sphincter, a mucous membrane fold, guards the opening from the ileum to the large intestine. This valve permits material from the small intestine to pass into the large intestine. Attached to the ileocecal valve is the cecum. This small pouch, approximately 6 cm long, has a twisted, coiled tube known as...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...
