Fifty benign epithelial neoplasms were encountered during the examination of more than 30,000 appendectomy specimens in the Laboratory of Surgical Pathology, Columbia University. In 44 cases, the neoplasms were papillary cystadenomas; in 11 of these cases, there were complications, all thought to have been caused by abnormal accumulations of mucus. We have reported a unique case of an incarcerated intussusception, and attempted to explain the pathogenesis of this unusual complication. We have also summarized the existing medical literature on the subject of intussusception of adenomatous lesions of the appendix.

The behavior and treatment of gastrointestinal carcinoid tumors have been the subject of much discussion. Size, location, and histologic invasiveness have been shown to correlate with regional and remote metastasis in previous series. We reviewed 81 patients with gastrointestinal carcinoids seen at the Medical University of South Carolina Teaching Hospitals since 1950. An unusual case of a 0.5 cm primary ileal carcinoid with widespread intra-abdominal and hepatic metastases is documented. In this series carcinoids were found (in order of decreasing frequency) in the ileum, appendix, rectum, right colon, duodenum, jejunum, stomach, ampulla of Vater, sigmoid colon, and pancreas. Metastases were found in 17% of the overall group. Two carcinoids presented with intussusception, while one was found within a Meckel's diverticulum. In addition to the small metastatic ileal carcinoid, one patient with a rectal carcinoid measuring 0.4 cm was found to have metastases after low anterior resection. Because all extra-appendiceal gastrointestinal carcinoids are potentially metastatic, it is stressed that regional lymphadenectomy en bloc with primary excision is the treatment of choice wherever feasible. If the lesion is small or has not invaded deeply, local excision with close follow-up may be an acceptable alternative.

Colonic intussusception is a condition primarily found in infants and young children. In adults, it is usually associated with a colonic neoplasm. The following report illustrates a case of colonic intussusception in an adult uremic patient in whom postmortem examination showed evidence only of intramural colonic hemorrhage.

We have described a case of intussusception of the defunctionalized loop of small bowel after jejunoileal bypass. This complication may be avoidable by suturing the free end of the proximal jejunum to the root of the transverse mesocolon. Diagnosis is aided by closely placing silver clips on these same structures and observing for their separation on radiographs of the abdomen.

Intussusception ureterectomy has been used to excise prophylactically the distal ureter in 10 patients with carcinoma of the renal pelvis. The procedure has proved safe and expeditious, as well as permitting more precise excision of the surrounding vesical mucosa.

Intussusception of the defunctionalized intestinal segment following jejuno-ileal bypass for obesity has rarely been reported. Persistent crampy abdominal pain (often accompanied by nausea and vomiting) and normal radiologic evaluation are suggestive of this entity. The routine use of silver clips, although helpful in some instances, cannot exclude this diagnosis. A high index of suspicion and the use of sonography may prove that intussusception of the defunctionalized segment is more common than has been previously reported.

A patient with heterotopic gastric mucosa of the small intestine with perforation of the ileum due to ulceration of the adjacent mucosa is presented. Twelve symptomatic and six asymptomatic cases from the literature are reviewed. The majority of patients presented with intermittent obstruction due to intussusception of the ectopic gastric mass. Hemorrhage or chronic blood loss anemia occurred in the three patients in whom ulceration was present, and one of these patients had an intestinal perforation.

Two cases of solitary small intestinal lipoma are presented. One occured in the duodenum as a submucosal pedunculated polyp with a bleeding ulcerated surface. This was diagnosed by means of the fiberoptic duodenoscope (Olympus D1G2). The second involved a large massive submucosal lipoma which formed the leading edge of an intussusception resulting in small bowel obstruction. A brief review of the pathology, complications, symptoms, radiographic diagnosis and treatment of small intestinal lipomas is given.

Eleven patients operated on for rectal prolapse, according to the method described by Ripstein, were examined pre- and postoperatively with cineradiography of the rectum. The patients were asked to fill in a questionnaire to evaluate their histories of constipation. There is no apparent anatomic explanation for postoperative constipation. One patient had a rectal stricture and another, a recurrence in the shape of an intussusception.
