[A case of adult intussusception in the transverse colon with an advanced ileal Peutz-Jeghers type polyp associated with cancer].

ABSTRACT

A man in his thirties was admitted to the hospital because of upper abdominal pain. Computed tomography showed intussusception in the ascending and transverse colon. After spontaneous discontinuation, endoscopy revealed a 25-mm 0-I tumor in the ileum. An emergency operation was performed the next day due to intussusception recurrence. The tumor was hyperplastic intestinal epithelium with dendritic smooth muscle fascicles and partly cancerous. The patient had no clinical features of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with Peutz-Jeghers type polyps based on pathological findings. This case is considered to be a rare case of intussusception in the transverse colon due to Peutz-Jeghers type polyp with canceration.
