Herniated mobile descending colon

Nigerian Journal of Surgical Research, 2013
Persistent descending mesocolon is a congenital anomaly that has been shown, in most cases, to be asymptomatic because of its short length. To the best of our literature review and knowledge, no case of internal herniation of the mobile descending colon into either gastrocolic or splenocolic recesses have been reported.

Giant lipoma of the descending colon

Hospital Medicine, 2002
Lipomas are relatively rare in the gastrointestinal tract. About two thirds occur in the colon, most frequently in the caecum (Taylor et al, 1990). Most lipomas are found incidentally. Larger tumours may cause intermittent episodes of intussusception (Liessi et al, 1996). Radiological investigation can make the diagnosis.

Splenodiaphragmatic interposition of the descending colon

Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2003
We present a variation named splenodiaphragmatic or retrosplenic interposition of the colon in three patients aged 6, 70, and 71 years who suffered from different symptoms. The cases were found in 1,000 thoracoabdominal CT scans examined at the radiology clinic between 1999 and 2001.

Potassium transport by rabbit descending colon

American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology, 1982
Unidirectional mucosal-to-serosal (Jm leads to s) and serosal-to-mucosal (Js leads to m) fluxes of potassium and sodium were determined simultaneously on paired sections of descending colon from the same rabbit under short-circuit conditions. In 13-16 pairs of tissues, net potassium secretion and sodium absorption averaged 0.49 +/- 0.08 and 4.0 +/- 0 ...

Giant lipoma of descending colon masquerading as a colonic malignancy

BMJ Case Reports, 2021
Lipomas of the large intestine are uncommon tumour. They are often innocuous and do not cause any clinical problem, particularly if they are small (<2 cm) is size. However, they can give rise to significant clinical symptoms if they become large and can be mistaken for colorectal carcinoma.

Colonic intussusception in descending colon: An unusual presentation of colon lipoma.

Gastroenterology and hepatology from bed to bench, 2016
Lipomas of the colon are relatively rare benign soft tissue tumors derived from mature adipocytes of mesenchymatic origin. During colonoscopy, surgery or autopsy they are generally discovered incidentally. Most cases are asymptomatic, with a small tumor size, and do not need any special treatment. However, in the cases with larger in size of tumor some

Gall-stone Obstruction of the Descending Colon

The British Journal of Radiology, 1962
Up to date, 675 cases of gall-stone obstruction, comprising 3 per cent of all cases of intestinal obstruction, have been reported. These usually present as intermittent and incomplete obstruction in elderly women, in whom only 50 per cent have a history of previous gall-bladder trouble. Delay in diagnosis in the past has been reflected in the mortality,

[Surgical treatment of colonic fistulas with descending colon].

Khirurgiia, 1995
Radical operations were conducted on 50 out of 78 patients with coloperineal and colovaginal fistulas consequent upon resection of the colon and bringing out its segments into the anal canal. The fistulas recurred in 10 patients. Individual choice of the operative method and development of a system of pre-, intra-, and postoperative special methods ...
