Summary

A rare case of carcinoma of the ileocecal valve is reported, which is endoscopically confirmed by the colonofiberscope (Olympus CF-LB type apparatus) and a biopsy examination. The characteristic endoscopical findings of this tumor reveals an irregularly shaped tumor with superficial depression circumscribed at the ileocecal valve and the lack of peristalsis. Colonofiberscopy is of value in the differential diagnosis of the ileocecal lesions when carried out in the combination with roentgenographic studies and histological examination using biopsy specimens.
