Summary
This summary is machine-generated.A rare case of adult colonic intussusception caused by a low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) was successfully treated with surgery. This highlights the importance of considering appendiceal tumors in adult intussusception cases.
Area Of Science
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Oncology
- Pathology
Background
- Adult intussusception is uncommon, often associated with malignant tumors.
- Appendiceal neoplasms are rare causes of adult intussusception.
- Established treatment guidelines for low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) are lacking.
Observation
- A 52-year-old woman presented with lower abdominal pain.
- Enhanced CT revealed intussusception of the small intestine or appendix into the transverse colon.
- No signs of intestinal ischemia were detected on CT scan.
Findings
- Emergency surgery revealed an appendiceal mass causing colonic intussusception.
- Laparoscope-assisted ileocolic resection and D3 dissection were performed.
- Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN).
Implications
- This case underscores the need for thorough investigation of appendiceal pathology in adult intussusception.
- Surgical resection is a viable treatment for LAMN-induced intussusception.
- Further research is needed to establish optimal management strategies for LAMN.

The appendix, a small, narrow, blind tube extending from the inferior part of the cecum, is widely regarded as a vestigial organ, having lost much of its original function through evolution. Despite its diminished role, the appendix can become inflamed, a condition known as appendicitis.
Etiology: Appendicitis can arise from various causes, primarily rooted in the obstruction of the appendix lumen. Factors contributing to this obstruction include fecal accumulation, lymphoid hyperplasia and, in...
Diagnosing and managing appendicitis requires a structured and comprehensive approach that spans from initial assessment to postoperative care. Here is an overview of the process:
Diagnosing Appendicitis
It requires a multifaceted approach, starting with a detailed physical examination to pinpoint the location and nature of the pain and identify any associated symptoms. Laboratory tests play a crucial role. A complete Blood Count (CBC) typically reveals leukocytosis (an increased number of...
Evaluating the rectum and anus plays a crucial role in conducting a thorough physical examination of the gastrointestinal system. Although it may be uncomfortable and often embarrassing for the patient, it holds immense diagnostic value, particularly in detecting gastrointestinal diseases and abnormalities. This guide will explain how to perform this assessment using inspection and palpation methods.
Rectal Inspection
Begin by inspecting the perianal and anal areas for color, texture, rashes,...
Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:
Strictureplasty
Proctocolectomy or total colectomy with ileostomy
Restorative proctocolectomy with Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis
Introduction
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...
