Article Synopsis
- - Pseudolipomatosis (PL) is a rare, benign condition linked to gas penetration in the colorectal mucosa, often occurring due to injury during endoscopic procedures, but its exact cause is still not fully understood.
- - It's important for medical professionals to recognize PL to prevent unnecessary treatments, and techniques like immunohistochemistry can help distinguish it from similar conditions.
- - A case study involving a 70-year-old man revealed duodenal pseudolipomatosis, marking a rare occurrence, as only two previous cases were reported, and no other instances were found in a review of over 500 duodenal biopsies.

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Emma Children's Hospital, Amsterdam UMC, University of Amsterdam, Meibergdreef 9, 1105 AZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Background: Infants presenting with unexpected pneumoperitoneum upon abdominal X-ray, indicating a gastrointestinal perforation (GIP), have a surgical emergency with potential morbidity and mortality. Preoperative determination of the location of perforation is challenging but will aid the surgeon in optimizing the surgical strategy, as colon perforations are more challenging than small bowel perforations. Therefore, the aim of this study is to provide an overview of preoperative patient characteristics, determine the differences between the small bowel and colon, and determine underlying causes in a cohort of infants with unexpected GIP.
