  • Title: A rare case of multiple intussusceptions: intense segmentary lipomatosis of the ileum.
    Author: Young TH, Ho P, Lee HS, Shyu RY, Tang HS, Hsu CT, Chao YC.
    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1996 Jan; 91(1):162-3. PubMed ID: 8561124.
    Abstract:
    We report a patient who presented with intestinal obstruction; his small intestine showed intense segmentary lipomatosis associated with unusually situated multiple intussusceptions. Preoperatively, we diagnosed intussusceptions in the ileocecal region by ultrasonography and computed tomographic scan. During surgery, the ileum was dilated and contained numerous movable polypoid masses. One reducible intussusception was encountered in the ileocecal region. In addition, an ileoileal intussusception that could not be reduced was resected with an end-to-end anastomosis. At histological examination, more than 150 submucosal lipomas were found.
