Description
This jar contains a segment of small intestine that demonstrates
ileo-ileal intussusception. A cut is made in the intessuscepiens to show
the intussusceptum with its mucosal surface to the outside. At its tip
there is a pedunculated 2 X 1 cm polyp with intact mucosal lining. The
intestinal loop looks viable.
Diagnosis
Viable ileo-ileal intussusception with a polypoid lesion that initiated
it.
Possible questions
Q. What are the types of intussusception?
Q. What are the clinical features?
Q. What are the possible complications?
Q. Can this be an operative specimen?
A. Yes, because, even with viable intestine, this segment must be
removed because it contains the predisposing lesion.
