The small intestine carcinoid tumor is mimicking of Crohn's disease: A case report

Öz

Carcinoid tumors arising from the enterochromaffin cells of the gastrointestinal system are seen rarely. Definitive diagnosis of these tumors by clinical examination and imaging methods is difficult. They can especially interfere with other gastrointestinal tumors and inflammatory bowel disease. According to the clinical signs, and CT and enteroclysis imagings, we started treatment in a patient considered as Crohn's disease. But the patient was operated because of ileus. The material removed from the patient at operation was diagnosed as carcinoid tumor by pathological evaluation. We found the case worthwhile to present from the point that it is demonstrative.

Crohn hastalığını taklit eden ince barsak karsinoid tümörü: Olgu sunumu

Öz

Karsinoid tümörler gastrointestinal sistemin enterokromaffin hücrelerinden kaynaklanan, nadir görülen tümörleridir. Klinik muayene ve görüntüleme yöntemleriyle kesin tanısını koymak zordur. Özellikle gastrointestinal sistemin diğer tümörleri ve inflamatuvar barsak hastalıkları ile karışabilir. Biz bir hastaya klinik bulguları, komputerize tomografi ve enteroklizis görüntülemelerine göre Crohn hastalığı düşünülerek tedavi başladık. Ancak hasta ileus gelişmesi üzerine opere edildi.Operasyonda elde edilen sırasında materyalin patolojik incelemesinde karsinoid tümör tanısı konuldu. Bu olguyu demonstratif olması açısından sunmaya değer bulduk.
