Long pedunculated, large hyperplastic polyp of the terminal ileum protruding through ileocecal valve: a case report.

We report an incidentally detected case of a long pedunculated, large polyp of the terminal ileum, which protruded through the ileocecal valve into the cecum, that was removed by colonoscopy in a 41-year-old man with intermittent right-sided lower abdominal pain. The polyp was resected through snare polypectomy without complications. The histopathology of the resected polyp was confirmed as an ileal hyperplastic polyp. Two years later, there was no recurrence on post-polypectomy surveillance colonoscopy. PMID: 32178495 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
