Abstract
- Adenocarcinoma of the ileocecal valve is rare. It's clinical manifestations are non-specific such as intestinal intussusception, obstruction and right lower abdominal discomfort according to type of cancer. Particularly infiltrative type carcinoma of the ileocecal valve may be easily misdiagnosed as inflammatory bowel disease by radiological imagings and clinical symptoms. We experienced one case of adenocarcinoma of the ileocecal valve mimiking inflammatory bowel disease in radiological features. Colonoscopic findings also could not differentiate malignancy with chronic inflammatory condition. We report a case of adenocarcinoma of the ileocecal valve, which endoscopic findings mimic chronic inflammatory disease, with a review of literature.
