Summary

Small intestine carcinoid tumors, often associated with Crohn's disease, can cause acute intestinal obstruction. Early diagnosis and surgical resection are crucial for favorable outcomes in these neuroendocrine tumors.

Intestinal Obstruction I: Introduction

Intestinal obstruction is a partial or complete blockage of the small or large intestine that disrupts the normal flow of intestinal contents through the lumen. This interruption impairs digestion, absorption, and fluid balance, and may lead to serious complications if not treated promptly.Mechanical ObstructionMechanical obstruction occurs when a physical blockage prevents intestinal contents from passing, arising from within the lumen or the bowel wall, or from external compression.Adhesions,...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Oncology
  • Neuroendocrine Tumor Research
  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease Studies

Background:

  • Small intestine carcinoid tumors are well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors that often present asymptomatically.
  • Association with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as Crohn's disease, can lead to diverse clinical manifestations.
  • High clinical suspicion is necessary for early diagnosis due to potentially aggressive behavior.

Observation:

  • A 60-year-old male with Crohn's disease experienced gastrointestinal symptoms and intestinal obstruction.
  • Conservative management failed, necessitating exploratory laparotomy which revealed a mesenteric tumor causing the obstruction.
  • Surgical resection with primary anastomosis was performed for the intestinal carcinoid tumor with lymph node metastases.

  • Small intestine carcinoid tumors are most common in the small intestine (42%), frequently presenting as locoregional disease (41%).
  • Patients with Crohn's disease exhibit a higher incidence of these tumors.
  • Acute intestinal obstruction is the predominant presentation (90%) in Crohn's disease patients with carcinoid tumors.

Implications:

  • Surgical intervention is typically curative for small intestine carcinoid tumors.
  • Vigilant follow-up is essential, as Crohn's disease symptoms may mask tumor recurrence.
  • Understanding the link between IBD and neuroendocrine tumors aids in timely diagnosis and management.
