| Gastroduodenal intussusception is a rare condition caused by the prolapse of a
gastric tumor with subsequent invagination of a portion of the gastric wall into the duodenum.
Various gastric lesions including adenoma, lipoma, leiomyoma, hamartoma,
adenocarcinoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), and as in our case a Peutz-
Jeghers polyp, can serve as a lead point of intussusception. Only three cases of gastroduodenal
intussusception secondary to a Peutz-Jeghers polyp have been reported.
We experienced a case of gastroduodenal intussusception in a 36-month-old boy who
presented with intermittent nonbilious vomiting, abdominal pain, and anemia. An
abdominal ultrasound and contrast enhanced CT scan showed gastrointestinal intussusception
and a mass-like lesion in the second portion of duodenum. A laparotomy
revealed a 7×8 cm sized mass at the gastric body, which was pathologically confirmed
as a Peutz-Jeghers polyp. |
