Polypoid Lymphoid Hyperplasia of the Terminal Ileum

SJB Van Weyenberg, M. Jacobs

Open full text 2 citations

Abstract

The terminal ileum contains lymphoid structures such as Peyer's patches and small lymphoid aggregations which can be quite prominent, especially in children and young adults. There is no widespread definition of the normal appearance of lymphoid tissue or what is the upper limit of normal size. Additionally, the clinical significance of apparent hyperplasia is not clear. A case of polypoid lymphoid hyperplasia of the terminal ileum detected by video capsule endoscopy is presented. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia.
