Summary: Pneumatosis cystoid intestinalis (PCI) is a rare condition characterized by abnormal accumulation of gas within the submucosa, subserosa, or both layers of the intestine. It is classified into primary and secondary forms and can be associated with various underlying etiologies. Colonoscopy, surgery, and radiological findings are commonly used for diagnosis, but colorectal endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) can provide a reliable and non-radiation option. However, more studies are needed to define the best approach for PCI diagnosis due to its rarity.

Summary: This study evaluated the rate of lymph node metastases in patients undergoing surgical resection for malignant polyps removed endoscopically and found that tumor location may be a useful predictive marker. However, further research with larger sample sizes is needed to confirm this finding.

Summary: Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) is a rare disease characterized by the presence of air-filled cysts in the intestinal submucosa, intermuscular wall, and subserous membrane. Conservative treatment is the first choice for patients with no serious complications, while timely surgical intervention is necessary for serious and life-threatening complications. Preoperative diagnosis is challenging due to nonspecific clinical manifestations and endoscopic findings, leading to missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.

Summary: The differential expression of circHADHA in plasma may serve as a potential biomarker for screening precancerous colon polyps and a therapeutic target for colon cancer treatment. CircHADHA promotes autophagy by regulating ATG13 through miR-361, inhibiting cell growth and tumor formation in colon cancer cells.

Summary: Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) is a rare condition characterized by gas-filled cysts in the gastrointestinal tract wall, with varying degrees of severity and potential complications. Treatment options range from conservative approaches to surgery, with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) showing promising results in selected cases. Further research is needed to fully understand the pathophysiology and optimal management strategies for PCI.

Summary: This article presents a case report on pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI), a rare disease characterized by cystic gas in the intestinal wall. The patient, an 84-year-old woman, was referred to us due to abdominal distention and diarrhea. The diagnosis of PCI was confirmed through diagnostic tests, and the patient showed improvement after management with an elimination diet and follow-up.

Summary: LPRL of the sigmoid colon display a distinct endoscopic profile, with features such as broad-based morphology, obscured vascular pattern, blurred crypts, and irregular spacing of sparse crypts. While generally non-neoplastic, focal histological dysplasia was identified in 50% of cases, warranting consideration of EMR.
