Introduction And Importance: Intestinal intussusception is rare in adults and it is associated with lead points affecting the colon in around 17% of patients. Lipomas are very rare benign tumors which may act as lead points for intestinal intussusception. Indeed, the incidence of intestinal intussusception is much rare when caused by lipomas. Read More

Reports of intussusception in sea turtles are generally linked to marine debris ingestion; therefore, only a few cases of the disease are associated with parasitic infestations. The objective of this study was to describe the necropsy findings of the first reported case of colocolic intussusception in a green sea turtle Chelonia mydas, associated with the helminth Octangium sp. A juvenile female green sea turtle, which was registered and rescued by the team from the Cetaceans Project of Costa Branca, State University of Rio Grande do Norte, was examined. Read More

Heterotopic pancreas (HP) is a developmental anomaly defined as aberrantly located pancreatic tissue with no anatomical, vascular, or neural connection to the pancreas. Bowel intussusception and gastrointestinal bleeding caused by isolated HP is extremely rare. This study explores the clinical, radiographical, pathologic, and treatment features of four patients with intussusception caused by incidental HP, with the aim of providing important insight into the diagnosis and management of these patients.

The aquaculture industry is growing and includes the farming and breeding of more than 580 aquatic species worldwide.

As broodfish form the basis of most fish farms, investigation into tumours occurring in trout, although under-researched, has proven to be a valuable and necessary field of study. Read More
