[Intestinal polyp of infrequent localization: presentation of 2 cases]
Insights
This study presents two rare pediatric intestinal polyposis cases: a jejunal hamartomatous polyp in an infant and an appendiceal juvenile polyp in a child. Both cases were successfully treated with surgery, highlighting effective management strategies for these uncommon conditions.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Pediatric Surgery
- Pathology
Background:
- Intestinal polyposis is a common condition, but specific pediatric presentations warrant detailed examination.
- Hamartomatous and juvenile polyps represent distinct histological types of intestinal polyps with varying clinical significance.
- Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing pediatric gastrointestinal abnormalities.
Observation:
- A 50-day-old infant presented with a hamartomatous polyp in the jejunum.
- A five-year-old girl was diagnosed with a juvenile polyp at the base of the appendix.
- Clinical presentation, symptomatology, and diagnostic procedures were meticulously documented for both cases.
Findings:
- Pathological examination confirmed the histological diagnosis of hamartomatous and juvenile polyps.
- Surgical resection was performed for both pediatric patients.
- Both patients achieved satisfactory outcomes following surgical treatment.
Implications:
- These cases underscore the importance of considering rare intestinal polyps in pediatric differential diagnoses.
- Successful surgical management in these instances provides valuable insights for pediatric surgical practice.
- Further research into the long-term outcomes of pediatric intestinal polyps is warranted.
Abstract:
Although intestinal polyposis it is quite a frequently clinical picture, there are some cases that deserve an special comment. The first infant was 50 days old and had an hamartomatous polyp implanted in jejunum. The second case was a five years old girl with a juvenile polyp implanted in the appendix's base. Authors describe clinical presentation, symtomatology and diagnostic steps taken in these patients with special emphasis in pathological study. Both were surgically treated and with satisfactory results.
