The ileocecal valve, abbreviated IC valve, is the divider between the small bowel and cecum. It is seen by pathologist in some subtotal colectomies (e.g. right hemicoloectomies) and occasionally biopsied.
Lipomatous ileocecal valve
- AKA lipomatosis of the ileocecal valve
General
- The lesion should involve the valve circumferentially.
- True lipomas of the ileocecal have a capsule, are not circumferential and less common.[1]
Clinical:
- May be misdiagnosed as malignancy.[2]
- Reported to mimic Crohn's disease.[3]
Gross
- "Ileocecal valve prominent".
Microscopic
Feature:
- Mature adipocytes.
- No capsule.[1]
DDx:
- Lipoma of the ileocecal valve - have a capsule.
Image:
Ileocecal tuberculosis
General
- Ileocecal region and jejunoileal region are the most commonly affected areas in gastrointestinal tuberculosis.[5][6][7]
Microscopic
- See Tuberculosis.
Ileocecal valve ulceration
General
- Relatively uncommon.
Microscopic
Features:
- Fibrin - acellular amorphous eosinophilic material.
- Neutrophils.
- Cryptitis (focal).
DDx:
- Crohn's disease.
- NSAID-associated ulcer.[8]
- Infection, e.g. tuberculosis.
