Abstract

A 59 year-old male patient visited our hospital with a chief complaint of diarrhea. The barium enema showed a small filling defect in the terminal ileum ; The colonoscopic examination revealed a protruding lesion. The size of it was about 6 mm in diameter, and it located at 3 cm orally from the ileocaecal valve. Histopathological diagnosis of the biopsied specimen was tubular adenoma. Several trials of colonoscopic polypectomy failed and the adenoma was removed by surgical operation. A rare case of adenoma of the ileum is reported herein with a brief review of the adenoma of the small intestine.
