Carcinoma endocrino (carcinoide) ileale. Caso clinico e revisione della letteratura

Gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine tumors are rare neoplasm and have proved to be slow growing malignancies which involve many organs and most frequently the gastrointestinal tract. They have a peculiary biological behaviour: most of them have endocrine function (carcinoid syndrome); many are clinically silent until late presentation. Symptoms are non specific; the most common are abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, weight loss and gastrointestinal (GI) blood loss. Incidental carcinoid, discovered at the time of another procedure, occurred in 40% of patients, and in multiple site throughout the GI tract. Here we report a case of a 73-year-old male with an adenomatous colonic polyp, not suitable of endoscopic treatment, and a synchronous carcinoid of small intestine discovered during surgical procedure. Therefore we performed a review of literature with particular attention to diagnosis and strategy of the treatment

Concomitant heterotopic pancreas and endometriosis as a rare cause of ileo-ileal intussusception in a young woman with spina bifida. Case report and literature review

Introduction Isolated heterotopic pancreas (HP) as the primary cause of bowel intussusception is extremely rare. We report a case of a 33-year-old female patient with spina bifida admitted to the Emergency Surgical Department for ileal intussusception due to the presence of heterotopic pancreas associated with endometriosis. Areas Covered Symptomatic ileal intussusception for ectopic pancreas is usually associated with overt gastrointestinal blood loss (predominantly melena), abdominal pain, vomiting, and weight loss. Treatment is universally surgical. Expert Commentary Isolated heterotopic pancreas is a rare condition; it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of bowel intussusception
