Abstract:
A 75-year-old male patient with a history of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, interstitial pneumonitis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease underwent a screening colonoscopy that revealed a 3-4 cm ulcerated ileal tumor. Subsequent diagnostic evaluations, including endoscopy and contrast-enhanced CT, identified additional findings of chronic atrophic gastritis with Helicobacter pylori and ileocecal intussusception. Histopathological analysis confirmed a marginal zone B-cell lymphoma with CD20+ expression and negative surgical margins following a right hemicolectomy. H. pylori eradication was successful, and the patient remains asymptomatic with no evidence of recurrence. It can present atypically, including intussusception. Early detection and appropriate management are crucial for achieving favorable outcomes.

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.

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...
