True villous adenoma of the jejunum.
True villous adenoma of the jejunum is a rare lesion, first described by Keely and Gottlieb in 1969. Our case is similar in that it was benign and presented with intermittent intussusception. An important difference was the presence of multiple gastrointestinal neoplasia, thereby resembling villous adenomas of the colon. The pathological differentiation of true villous adenoma and adenomatous polyp is discussed.
