Abstract:
Angiolipoma, a rare benign intestinal tumor, is primarily diagnosed through abdominal imaging and pathological examination. Intestinal angiolipomas frequently cause intussusception, necessitating prompt surgical resection. This paper reports a 62-year-old female patient admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University with "unprovoked paroxysmal abdominal pain for 3 months." Preoperative diagnosis indicated ascending colonic intussusception secondary to ileal angiolipoma. Pathological examination following surgical bowel resection confirmed the lesion as an (ileal) angiolipoma. Given the rarity of this pathological entity in the intestinal tract, we present this case.

Small Intestines
The small intestine is an ~7 meter-long tube with an inner diameter of just 2.5 cm. Since most nutrients are absorbed here, the inner lining of the...

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, 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...
