  • Title: Gastrointestinal autonomic nerve tumour presenting as small bowel volvulus: a rare disease with a rare presentation.
    Author: Chung CC, To KF, Lau WY, Li AK.
    Journal: Int J Clin Pract; 1997; 51(8):520-1. PubMed ID: 9536609.
    Abstract:
    A 78-year-old Chinese woman presented with recurrent postprandial abdominal pain. Computerised tomography revealed a small bowel tumour causing volvulus of a segment of the small bowel. Laparotomy confirmed an extraluminal ileal tumour with partial volvulus of the involved small bowel segment. Small bowel resection was done. Histological and ultrastructural studies confirmed a gastrointestinal autonomic nerve tumour. We review the medical literature on this rare tumour.
