Abstract

A 66-year-old man was referred for a colonoscopy to investigate persistent diarrhea associated with iron deficiency. A large polypoid lesion (2 × 4 cm) was identified at the ileocecal valve ([Fig. 1 a]). Examination with chromoendoscopy (0.4 % indigo carmine dye) demonstrated the appearance of villi ([Fig. 1 b]). The terminal ileum had a normal appearance on intubation ([Fig. 1 c]); however, the lesion had disappeared on withdrawal of the colonoscope back into the cecum ([Fig. 1 d]). Biopsies from the lesion confirmed small-bowel architecture ([Fig. 2]). This endoscopic appearance in conjunction with the biopsy results was consistent with a prolapsing ileum.
