Why the study?
Intestinal epithelioid angiosarcoma is an uncommon vascular tumor with varied clinical presentations, including unexplained severe gastrointestinal bleeding, anemia, and abdominal pain.
Does explorative intraoperative enteroscopy assist in detecting multifocal intestinal lesions in a patient with jejunal angiosarcoma?
Does explorative intraoperative enteroscopy assist in detecting multifocal intestinal lesions in a patient with jejunal angiosarcoma?
Intraoperative enteroscopy is a helpful diagnostic approach that can detect multifocal small intestinal tumors such as epithelioid angiosarcoma.
May support intraoperative enteroscopy for multifocal jejunal angiosarcoma resection; leaves open broader adoption pending additional evidence.
Intestinal epithelioid angiosarcoma is an uncommon type of vascular tumor with unusually varied clinical presentations, including non-explained severe gastrointestinal bleeding, anemia, and abdominal pain. A 77-year-old man presented with recurrent severe anemia caused by gastrointestinal bleeding. The diagnosis was jejunal angiosarcoma. The patient had three intestinal resections assisted by explorative intraoperative enteroscopy, which detected multifocal intestinal lesions. Intraoperative enteroscopy is a helpful diagnostic and prognostic approach that detects small intestinal tumors. Intraoperative enteroscopy could improve the outcome of intestinal angiosarcomas.
