Resumen
CRUZ SOTOMAYOR, Alexander et al. Mucinous cystadenoma of the ileocecal valve. Uncommon intestinal tumor in a oneyear-old boy. Case report. Rev. gastroenterol. Perú [online]. 2020, vol.40, n.1, pp.61-63. ISSN 1022-5129.
Mucinous cystadenoma is usually found in the ovary, pancreas and appendix but its presentation in the intestine is extremely rare. In this case report we present an infant with partial intestinal occlusion due to a mucinous cystadenoma of the ileocecal valve. We performed an excision of the terminal ileum, ileocecal valve, cecum and appendix, followed by ileocolic anastomosis. The patient did well after the procedure and recovered uneventfully. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of this tumor in this location.
