  • Title: Acute pancreatitis from intussusception of a gastric polyp in a patient with Gardner's syndrome.
    Author: Herman LL, Kurtz RC, Brennan MF, Shike M.
    Journal: Dig Dis Sci; 1992 Jun; 37(6):955-60. PubMed ID: 1587204.
    Abstract:
    Gastric polyps in Gardner's syndrome are usually benign small fundic gland neoplasms with little clinical significance. We report a case of gastroduodenal intussusception secondary to a large benign gastric polyp in a 44-year-old woman with Gardner's syndrome who presented with acute pancreatitis. The intussuscepted polyp caused obstruction of the ampulla of Vater with subsequent acute pancreatitis.
