Iatrogenic intestinal obstruction: a rare complication of capsule endoscopy in a patient with familial adenomatous polyposis

Abstract

A 24-year-old woman with a history of an epidermoid cyst of the knee (resected at the age of 15) and a gluteal epidermal cyst (resected at the age of 23) was referred to our service. She underwent a complete colon examination because she was suspected to have familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Colonoscopy showed several sessile polyps along the colon. Multiple polypeptomy was performed and histopathological examination revealed these lesions to be tubular adenomas with mild dysplasia.
