An incidentaloma at ileal intubation

World J Gastrointest Endosc. 2011 Nov 16;3(11):228-30. doi: 10.4253/wjge.v3.i11.228.

Abstract

The authors report the case of a primary small bowel lymphoma discovered incidentally in a 33-year-old male following ileal intubation at colonoscopy. The patient subsequently underwent curative treatment with chemotherapy. This case not only highlights the importance of routine ileoscopy but also the successful use of chemotherapy in a disease for which the optimal treatment modality has not been well characterized.
