Colonic Lipoma

Abstract Lipomas are benign soft tissue tumors found throughout the body including the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Colonic lipomas are typically asymptomatic, incidentally identified during endoscopy or at the time of autopsy. However, giant lipomas larger than 4 cm usually manifest symptoms such as abdominal pain, obstruction, melena or intussusception. The transverse colon is the least common location for colonic lipoma. We report on a 54-year-old man with acute large bowel obstruction secondary to a long segment colo-colonic intussusception from a giant lipoma originating in the transverse colon. The diagnosis was suggested by advanced imaging and confirmed on endoscopy. He was treated successfully by laparoscopic extended right hemicolectomy with ileocolonic anastomosis. This case highlights the complexity of presentation and surgical management of large bowel obstruction and colonic intussusception, as well as the rare entity of giant colonic lipoma.

Gall Stone Ileus

Gallstone ileus is an uncommon and often life-threatening complication of cholelithiasis. In this case report, we discuss a difficult diagnostic case of gallstone ileus presenting as small gut obstruction with ischemia. A 56-year-old female presented with abdominal pain and vomiting. A CT scan was performed and showed an evolving bowel obstruction with features of gut ischemia with pneumobilia although no frank hyper density suggestive of a gallstone was noted. The patient underwent emergency surgery and a 60 mm obstructing calculus was removed from the patient's jejunum, with a formal tube cholecystostomy. JMS 2018: 21 (2):117-119

Emergency Abdominal Surgery

Oftentimes general surgeons working in poorly resourced communities carry out emergency abdominal surgery in patients with acute abdomen with no definitive preoperative diagnosis. The definitive diagnosis is made at laparotomy. Perforated small bowel obstruction secondary to heavy Infestation with Ascaris Lumbricoides brings a number of intraoperative challenges requiring correct intraoperative surgical management decisions. We present a case of a 17 year-old patient who was admitted with a diagnosis of small bowel obstruction who at laparotomy was found to have perforated gangrenous small bowel volvulus with heavy worm load visible through the bowel wall. Because of faecal peritoneal contamination and haemodynamic instability she underwent a two staged procedure with good outcome.
