Adult intussusception requires prompt surgery. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is a critical diagnosis to consider for adult intussusception, especially in the colon, for accurate management.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology and Oncology
Background:
- Adult intussusception is a rare condition often presenting with non-specific symptoms.
- Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes in adult intussusception.
Observation:
- This study highlights the importance of considering specific underlying pathologies in adult intussusception.
- Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) can manifest as a cause of intussusception, particularly in the colonic region.
Findings:
- The presence of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) should be a key consideration in the differential diagnosis of adult colonic intussusception.
- Integrating oncological awareness into the diagnostic pathway for intussusception improves diagnostic accuracy.
Implications:
- Timely recognition of DLBCL in adult intussusception facilitates appropriate oncological treatment and surgical planning.
- This approach enhances patient management strategies for intussusception, improving prognoses.

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...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:
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...
Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Diagnostic Studies and Management I-Nutritional Therapy
Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...
