| Abstrakt: | Invagination is defined as a medical condition in which a part of the gastrointestinal tract has entered into another section. Intestinal invagination is a rare clinical entity among adults and there is an underlying structural lesion in most of the cases. Coeliac disease is considered as a risk factor for intestinal invagination, because of the associated inflammatory processes and motility disorders as well as the increased risk for secondary malignancies. We report a case of intestinal invagination secondary to intestinal adenocarcinoma in a woman with coeliac disease, whose adherence to a gluten-free diet was poor. (2015 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.) |
