Carcinoid tumor is the most common neuroendocrine tumor affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The coexistence of multifocal carcinoid lesions is a well-established phenomenon. Although intubation of the terminal ileum is not routinely attempted during colonoscopy, it can occasionally reveal the presence of some incidental findings. We present a patient with known rectal carcinoid, who was found to have another carcinoid lesion in the terminal ileum during surveillance colonoscopy. The patient underwent right hemicolectomy, and no chemotherapy was required as the patient was found to have stage 1 carcinoid tumor.

Diagnostic Modalities

AbstractThe diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumor, in general, seems to have increased in the recent years, most likely due to better diagnostic modalities. Ampulla represents an uncommon site for the occurrence of neuroendocrine tumor of gastrointestinal tract (0.05%).[1] A carcinoid tumor at the ampulla has varied presentations. Here, we report this rare case of neuroendocrine tumor at the ampulla in a young female presenting as abdominal pain and improving after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Malignant Lesions

Heterotopic pancreas is a congenital pathology of the gastrointestinal tract, particularly rare in the esophagus. Both symptomatology and findings during preoperative examinations are non-specific and therefore do not often lead to an accurate diagnosis, which is usually revealed only by histopathological assessment of a resected specimen. We report an unusual case of a patient suffering from severe dysphagia caused by heterotopic pancreas in the distal esophagus with chronic inflammation and foci of premalignant changes. This article also reviews 14 adult cases of heterotopic pancreas in the esophagus previously reported in the literature, with the aim of determining the clinical features of this disease and possible complications including rare premalignant lesions and malignant transformation. Especially with regard to those complications, we suggest that both symptomatic and incidentally found asymptomatic lesions should be resected.

Abstract Pyogenic granuloma also known as lobular capillary hemangioma occurs commonly in the skin and oral mucosa. This entity has been rarely reported in the gastrointestinal tract. We herein report three cases of pyogenic granuloma, located in the duodenum, ileum, and rectum, respectively. Case 1 is a 54-year-old female with a history of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma who underwent an esophagogastroduodenoscopy for severe heartburn. The endoscopy showed a 13-mm nonbleeding, pedunculated polyp in the second portion of duodenum, which was removed using a hot snare after injection of epinephrine. The patient had an episode of massive gastrointestinal bleeding postpolypectomy, with a significant drop of her hemoglobin, which was managed with blood transfusion. Case 2 is a 68-year-old male with a history of right hemicolectomy due to trauma who had a colonoscopy for chronic diarrhea. The colonoscopy revealed a 14-mm, nonbleeding, pedunculated polyp in the ileum, located 3 cm from the ileocolonic anastomosis. The polyp was removed with hot snare, without complications. Case 3 is a 44-year-old female with morbid obesity who underwent a colonoscopy for iron-deficiency anemia. The colonoscopy showed an 8-mm multilobulated sessile lesion in the distal rectum, which was completely removed using hot snare. No complications were seen postpolypectomy. Histological examination of all the three polyps showed a proliferation of capillary-sized blood vessels with a mixed inflammatory infiltrate, resembling granulation tissue. Additionally, the ileal polyp in our case had marked eosinophilic infiltrate, the etiology of which remains unknown. In conclusion, pyogenic granuloma, given its vascular nature, can be a cause of bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract. Awareness regarding this rare entity is important for its proper diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract Mucinous cystadenoma is a rare tumor of appendix it accounts for only 0.4% of the gastrointestinal tract malignancies and is reported rarely in literature. Therefore the surgical management is not yet established. Here we report a case of a 65 year old female who presented with a dragging sensation and a feeling of mass in right iliac fossa. Her computed tomography (CT) suggested an abscess formation of the parietal peritoneum. She was planned for laparotomy and upon exploration a mass was found arising from tip of retroperitoneal appendix. Whole of the appendix was studded with mucoid material. Limited right hemicolectomy was performed and histopathology of appendix showed mucinous cystadenoma with no evidence of malignant changes. Patient remained uneventful and was discharged on 4th post operative day. The unusual presentation of retroperitoneal pseudomyxoma without any intraperitoneal pathology, prompted us to report this case. Continuous...

Slow Growing

Neuroendocrine tumors are slow-growing neoplasms, histologically based on enteroendocrine cells. They are tumors with different degrees of differentiation, uncertain bio­logical nature and metastatic ability. Their most common localization is the gastrointestinal tract, with a special group of the neuroendocrine tumors of appendix, which are incidentally found after appendectomy. In case report, we would like to present a case of a patient with neuroendocrine tumors of appendix dia­gnosed by colonoscopy.
