Cutaneous intestinal metaplasia
Alerts and Notices
Synopsis
This condition is incredibly rare, with fewer than 5 cases reported in literature. The pathogenesis of cutaneous intestinal metaplasia is unknown. However, it is suggested to be secondary to iatrogenic transfer of intestinal mucosa during surgery. There does not appear to be a sex, racial, or genetic predilection. From the few reported cases, it appears that cutaneous intestinal metaplasia develops decades after initial ostomy procedure.
