Small Intestine Metastasis from Endometrial Adenocarcinoma: A Case Report

Abstract Background Small intestine duplication cysts (SIDCs) are rare congenital anatomical abnormalities of the digestive tract and a rare cause of hematochezia. Case presentation We describe an adult female presented with recurrent hematochezia. The routine gastric endoscope and colonic endoscope showed no positive findings. Abdominal CT scan indicated intussusception due to the "doughnut" sign, but the patient had no typical symptoms. Two subsequent capsule endoscopes revealed a protruding lesion with bleeding in the distal ileum. Surgical resection was performed and revealed a case of SIDC measuring 6 * 2 cm located inside the ileum cavity. The patient remained symptom-free throughout a 7-year follow-up period. Conclusion SIDCs located inside the enteric cavity can easily be misdiagnosed as intussusception by routine radiologic examinations.

Background. Meckel?s diverticulum (MD) is a congenital anomaly of the small intestine. It results from incomplete obliteration and resorption of the proximal omphaloenteric duct connecting yolk sac with primitive gut in the fetal period. Case report. A case of 20-year old female with ectopic pancreatic rests in a MD was reported. She was hospitalized with clinical signs of acute appendicitis. During surgery an inflamated Meckel?s diverticulum was found and a clinoid resection of the diverticulum was performed. Histologic examination revealed pancreatic tissue in the removed diverticulum. Endocrine cells (EC) were detected with Masson staining and aberrant pancreatic tissue with immunocytochemical LSAB2 method using pan cytokeratin as epithelial marker. Conclusion. Most of MD are asymptomatic and accessory finding during laparothomias for different causes, but complications of undiagnozed MD can be serious (diverticulitis, perforation with peritonitis or intestinal obstruction caused by invagination). In unclear cases, additional cytochemical and immunocytochemical diagnostics could be done.
