A statement to the World Summit on Sustainable Development by the Bahá'í International Community
Johannesburg, South AfricaOver the course of the 20th century, ethnic, racial and national prejudices have increasingly given way to the recognition that humankind is a single family and the earth its common homeland.1 The United Nations (UN), which was created in response to this dawning recognition, has worked tirelessly to bring about a world where all peoples and nations can live together in peace and harmony. To help bring about this world, the UN has crafted a remarkable framework of international institutions, processes, conventions and global action plans that have helped to prevent conflict and warfare, to protect human rights, to nurture equality between women and men, and to uplift the material conditions of countless individuals and communities.
Despite these significant achievements, the United Nations has yet to grasp fully both the constructive role that religion can play in creating a peaceful and prosperous global order, and the destructive impact that religious fanaticism can have on the stability and progress of the world. This lack of attention to religion can be clearly seen in the development realm, where the United Nations has, for the most part, viewed religious communities merely as channels for the delivery of goods and services, and as mechanisms to carry out development policies and programs. Moreover, while the United Nations' human rights machinery has been used to condemn religious intolerance and persecution,2 UN development policies and programs3 have hardly begun to address religious bigotry as a major obstacle to peace and well-being.4
It is becoming increasingly clear that passage to the culminating stage in the millennia long process of the organization of the planet as one home for the entire human family cannot be accomplished in a spiritual vacuum. Religion, the Bahá'í Scriptures aver, "is the source of illumination, the cause of development and the animating impulse of all human advancement"5 and "has been the basis of all civilization and progress in the history of mankind."6 It is the source of meaning and hope for the vast majority of the planet's inhabitants, and it has a limitless power to inspire sacrifice, change and long-term commitment in its followers.7 It is, therefore, inconceivable that a peaceful and prosperous global society - a society which nourishes a spectacular diversity of cultures and nations - can be established and sustained without directly and substantively involving the world's great religions in its design and support.8
At the same time, it cannot be denied that the power of religion has also been perverted to turn neighbor against neighbor. The Bahá'í Scriptures state that "religion must be the source of fellowship, the cause of unity and the nearness of God to man. If it rouses hatred and strife, it is evident that absence of religion is preferable and an irreligious man is better than one who professes it."9 So long as religious animosities are allowed to destabilize the world, it will be impossible to foster a global pattern of sustainable development: the central goal of this Summit.
Given the record of religious fanaticism, it is understandable that the United Nations has been hesitant to invite religion into its negotiations. However, the UN can no longer afford to ignore the immeasurable good that religions have done and continue to do in the world, or the salubrious, far-reaching contributions that they can make to the establishment of a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable global order. Indeed, the United Nations will only succeed in establishing such a global order to the extent that it taps into the power and vision of religion. To do so will require accepting religion not merely as a vehicle for the delivery and execution of development initiatives, but as an active partner in the conceptualization, design, implementation and evaluation of global policies and programs.10 The historically justified wall separating the United Nations and religions11 must fall to the imperatives of a world struggling toward unity and justice.12
The real onus, however, is on the religions themselves. Religious followers and, more important, religious leaders must show that they are worthy partners in the great mission of building a sustainable world civilization. To do so will require that religious leaders work conscientiously and untiringly to exorcise religious bigotry and superstition13 from within their faith traditions. It will necessitate that they embrace freedom of conscience for all people, including their own followers,14 and renounce claims to religious exclusivity and finality.15
It should not be imagined that the acceptance of religion as a partner within the United Nations will be anything but gradual or that religious hostilities will be eliminated any time soon. But the desperate needs of the human family make further delay in addressing the role of religion unacceptable.
For its part, the United Nations might begin the process of substantively involving religion in deliberations on humankind's future by hosting an initial gathering of religious leaders convoked, perhaps, by the Secretary-General. As a first priority, the leaders might call for a convention on freedom of religion and belief to be drafted and ratified, as expeditiously as possible, by the governments of the world, with the assistance of religious communities.16 Such an action by the world's religious leaders, which would signal their willingness to accept freedom of conscience for all peoples, would significantly reduce tensions in the world. The gathering might also discuss the foundation within the United Nations System of a permanent religious forum, patterned initially perhaps on the UN's recently founded Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. The creation of this body would be an important initial step toward fully integrating religion into the UN's work of establishing a peaceful world order.17
For their part, religious leaders will need to show that they are worthy of participation in such a forum. Only those religious leaders who make it clear to their followers that prejudice, bigotry and violence have no place in the life of a religious person should be invited to participate in the work of this body.
It is evident that the longer the United Nations delays the meaningful involvement of religion in its work, the longer humanity will suffer the ravages of injustice and disunity.18 It is equally clear that until the religions of the world renounce fanaticism and work whole-heartedly to eliminate it from within their own ranks, peace and prosperity will prove chimerical. Indeed, the responsibility for the plight of humanity rests, in large part, with the world's religious leaders. It is they who must raise their voices to end the hatred, exclusivity, oppression of conscience, violations of human rights, denial of equality, opposition to science, and glorification of materialism, violence and terrorism, which are perpetrated in the name of religious truth. Moreover, it is the followers of all religions who must transform their own lives and take up the mantle of sacrifice for and service to the well-being of others, and thus contribute to the realization of the long-promised reign of peace and justice on earth.
3. Although some of the global action plans from recent United Nations conferences suggest
that misuse of religion poses an obstacle to development, the few references that they do contain neither explore the effects of
religious bigotry and violence on development and security, nor offer any notable solutions. (See, e.g., The Vienna
Declaration and Programme of Action, II-22, 38; The Copenhagen Declaration and Programme of Action, 69; The
Platform for Action of the Fourth World Conference on Women, 24, 80 (f), 131, 224; The Habitat Agenda, 25; We the
Peoples: the Role of the United Nations in the Twenty-First Century, 200; and The Declaration of the World Conference
against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance, 59-60.)
Agenda 21 mentions
religion, but with no reference to the impact that its misuse has on development (see, Agenda 21, 5.53, 6.1, 6.3, 6.4, 6.12,
6.32, 6.34 (a)(i), 36.13 (a)). Moreover, the Programme for the Further Implementation of Agenda 21, which was produced at
the Earth Summit +5, contains no mention at all of religion, and the Draft Plan of Implementation for the World Summit on
Sustainable Development that was negotiated at the Fourth Preparatory Committee session (27 May - 7 June 2002), mentions
religion but once, and then only in the context of ensuring that the delivery of basic health care services is "consistent with
…. cultural and religious values" (A/CONF199/PC/L.5, #45). This omission of the destructive effects of religious fanaticism on
sustainable development from the global action plans emanating from the Earth Summit, the Earth Summit +5, and the World Summit
on Sustainable Development, is all the more striking, given that some of the conferences of the 1990's did, at least, express
concern about religious intolerance.
4. In its efforts to combat terrorism, the
United Nations has been hesitant to address religious fanaticism. Through a series of resolutions, treaties and actions, the
United Nations has sought concerted international cooperation to combat terrorism, branding it "one of the most serious threats
to international peace and security in the twenty-first century" and inimical to "global stability and prosperity." (S/RES1377
(2001)). Yet, at the same time, the UN has been reticent to identify religious fanaticism as a source of terrorism, referring to
it, if at all, mostly indirectly - e.g., "terrorism motivated by intolerance or extremism" (S/RES/1373 (2001)). In those few
instances when it is mentioned directly, it is included in a list of various justifications - e.g., "criminal acts intended to
provoke a state of terror…are...unjustifiable, whatever the considerations of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial,
ethnic, religious or other nature that may be invoked to justify them." (A/RES/55/158, para 2; see also A/57/37, Annex III,
Article 5, Report of the Ad Hoc Committee [charged with drafting a Comprehensive Convention on International
Terrorism] Established by General Assembly Resolution 51/210 of 17 December 1996; and the International Convention
for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism, Article 6). Interestingly, even the various resolutions that were issued
by the Security Council, the General Assembly and the Commission on Human Rights in response to the terrorist acts of 11
September 2001, failed to identify religious fanaticism as the force animating those acts (to find allusion to this fanatical
motivation, one has to look to speeches by the UN Secretary-General: "We are in a moral struggle to fight an evil that is
anathema to all faiths." SG/SM8013, Message of the Secretary-General Kofi Annan to the Warsaw Conference on Combating
Terrorism, 6 November 2001.) This hesitancy to acknowledge and forcefully condemn the religious bigotry motivating terrorist
acts weakens the effectiveness of the UN's efforts to bring an end to international terrorism. For, it is only by identifying
and understanding the peculiar motivation behind such acts that they can be effectively combated.

Most results announced by public opinion polling agencies in recent years are quite meaningful, easy to understand, helpful, and of known accuracy. Most are simple attempts to assess the public's opinion on one or more topic. They are particularly useful to politicians who often gear their voting decisions to match either the majority opinion of the public, or the majority opinion of the voters within their party, or whatever opinion they feel will maximize their chance of being re-elected. Polling data is also very useful to advocacy groups, particularly if the data shows the public's response for persons of different ages, educational attainments, genders, political affiliations, etc. Advocacy groups often use polling data to more effectively design campaigns that influence public opinion over time.
However, when the topic of a poll is very controversial, or if the stakes are very high, some polls may end up with distorted polling numbers. Some times the polling agency's goal is not to estimate public opinion accurately, but to convince the public to change their mind, or to convince movers and shakers that public opinion is very different from what it really is. On the other hand, distorted results can be the result of the designers' carelessness, lack of knowledge, or even random chance during the polling design process.
Some polls about really hot-button topics, like abortion access, contraceptives, and same-sex marriage seem to frequently have heavy a bias.
Numerous U.S. national polls and polls within states have been conducted on same-sex marriage (SSM) by secular, political, and religious polling groups. Some have been sponsored by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) groups; others by religious or secular groups. There is often great variations in the results -- to the point that some wonder if fraud had taken place.
Some "cooking" of the results may have happened. For example, we have noticed one political polling group that asks their customers what their goals are, and then designs a poll and a subsequent explanation of the data to meet those goals. However, we suspect that fraud may not be the most common cause of differences among polls. Sometimes, it can be the result of carelessness, ignorance and/or chance.
We should all be aware of them:
It would be fascinating to see a poll that randomly selects a question on SSM from a group of, say, five alternatives like the ones above, and then reports on how the responses differ among the questions asked. We have never seen such a poll. They probably don't exist, because they would reveal to the public how much the exact wording of the question does matter. That might well lower the credibility of the entire polling industry in the public's eyes.
Giving many options would be almost certain to result in only a minority of respondents favoring same-sex marriage. The polling group could then accurately, but deceptively, describe the poll as indicating that most adults oppose SSM. What they don't reveal is that each of the options is opposed by most of the respondents.
The first example of an apparently bad design is a poll commissioned by the Family Research Council (FRC) during 2014-MAY-01 to 04. The FRC is a conservative Christian para-church organization, which has been designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center as an anti-gay hate group. 5
In order to understand the problems within this survey, it is first necessary to discuss how Plan B and other forms of emergency contraception (EC) work -- as understood by both scientists and by many pro-life advocates. EC is taken after unprotected sex in order to avoid becoming pregnant. This medication is often called by a misleading term the "morning after pill." It should be taken as soon as possible; it can be taken later than the morning after.
At first, researchers thought that it might work in some combination of three ways:

Biography of Anton Bruckner
Anton Bruckner (4 September 1824 11 October 1896) was an Austrian composer known primarily for his symphonies, masses, and motets. His symphonies are often considered emblematic of the final stage of Austro-German Romanticism because of their rich harmonic language, complex polyphony, and considerable length. Bruckner's compositions helped to define contemporary musical radicalism, owing to their dissonances, unprepared modulations, and roving harmonies. Unlike other radicals, such as Wagner or Hugo Wolf who fit the enfant terrible mold, Bruckner showed extreme humility before other musicians, Wagner in particular. This apparent dichotomy between Bruckner the man and Bruckner the composer hampers efforts to describe his life in a way that gives a straightforward context for his music....

Biography of Jacques-Louis David
Jacques-Louis David (August 30, 1748 December 29, 1825) was a highly influential French painter in the Neoclassical style, considered to be the prominent painter of the era. In the 1780s his cerebral brand of history painting marked a change in taste away from Rococo frivolity toward a classical austerity and severity, chiming with the moral climate of the final years of the ancien régime. David later became an active supporter of the French Revolution and friend of Maximilien Robespierre, and was effectively a dictator of the arts under the French Republic. Imprisoned after Robespierre's fall from power, he aligned himself with yet another political regime upon his release, that of Napoleon I. It was at this time that he developed his 'Empire style', notable for its use of warm Venet...

Biography of Dominique Ingres
Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres (pronounced /ɛ̃gʀ/) (August 29, 1780 (birth time source: Penfield) January 14, 1867) was a French Neoclassical painter. Although he thought of himself as a painter of history in the tradition of Nicolas Poussin and Jacques-Louis David, by the end of his life it was his portraits, both painted and drawn, that were recognized as his greatest legacy. A man profoundly respectful of the past, he assumed the role of a guardian of academic orthodoxy against the ascendant Romantic style represented by his nemesis Eugène Delacroix.

Biography of Maurice Blanchot
Maurice Blanchot (September 22, 1907 February 20, 2003) was a French writer, philosopher, and literary theorist. Works His influence on later post-structuralist theorists such as Jacques Derrida is difficult to overstate. Blanchot's work is not a coherent, all-encompassing 'theory', since it is a work founded on paradox and impossibility. The thread running through all his writing is the constant engagement with the 'question of literature', a simultaneous enactment and interrogation of the profoundly strange experience of writing. For Blanchot, 'literature begins at the moment when literature becomes a question' (Literature and the Right to Death). Blanchot draws on the work of the symbolist poet Stéphane Mallarmé in formulating his conception of literary language as anti-realist...

This is a 3-CD limited-edition hardcover book, with repertoire chosen personally by the artist, consisting of complete works from his repertoire û so, from StravinskyÆs Petrushka and ChopinÆs op. 25 ╔tudes to complete concertos by Beethoven and Mozart. As an added bonus there is the 1960 performance of ChopinÆs First Piano Concerto from the Chopin International Piano Competition in Warsaw.
Architecture and Passion For at least two generations, Maurizio PolliniÆs fastidious technical standards, unflappable consistency, uncompromising programs of wide-ranging repertoire, and his fierce determination to serve the composer first and foremost have represented the modern pianistÆs gold standard. Active as ever as he enters his eighth decade, Pollini continues to evolve artistically. This milestone birthday has also provided an occasion for him to take stock by way of this judiciously culled yet quite personal three-disc overview of his Deutsche Grammophon discography û benchmark recordings for many critics and piano mavens. The intellectual curiosity and artistic refinement that characterize PolliniÆs career can be traced back to his exceptional childhood. He was born on 5 January 1942 in Milan to Gino Pollini û a key figure of the Italian Rationalist movement who, as one of the ôGroup of Sevenö, helped introduce modern architecture to Italy in the 1930s û and Renata Melotti, who had studied both piano and singing. Her brother was the renowned Italian sculptor Fausto Melotti, who played piano seriously in his early years and exerted a strong, nurturing influence on his youthful nephew, not just musically but also fostering PolliniÆs lifelong interest in the visual arts. ôI grew up in a house with art and artists,ö Pollini told the GuardianÆs Nicholas Wroe. ôOld works and modern works co-existed together as part of life. It went without saying.ö Given this environment, perhaps it was inevitable that Pollini gravitated towards the piano. He began lessons at six with Carlo Lonati, giving his first public concert in 1952 at the age of ten. Other strong childhood musical impressions included a recording of BachÆs Brandenburg Concertos he received after having his tonsils removed and attending a Toscanini rehearsal at La Scala. ôI also remember Dimitri Mitropoulos coming to conduct BergÆs Wozzeck at La Scala,ö Pollini recalled to the BBCÆs Ivan Hewitt. ôWhat a scandal that caused! And so many great pianists came: Walter Gieseking, Wilhelm Backhaus, Clara Haskil, Edwin Fischer. And, of course, (Arthur) Rubinstein.ö From 1955 until 1959 Pollini studied with Carlo Vidusso at the Milan Conservatory. Also a pupil of Lonati, Vidusso enjoyed a high-profile performing career, apparently becoming the first pianist to perform all twelve of LisztÆs Transcendental ╔tudes in recital in Italy. Eventually a hand disorder forced him to focus on teaching. By 1957 his 15-year-old pupil Maurizio Pollini drew attention by winning second prize in the Geneva Competition and for a highly acclaimed Milan recital that featured all 24 Chopin ╔tudes û no easy undertaking for a pianist of any age! Three years later, PolliniÆs victory in the 1960 Warsaw Chopin Competition marked the apex of his youthful career and the beginning of his rise to international fame. At 18, he was the youngest of all 89 entrants and clearly impressed the jury chaired by his childhood hero Arthur Rubinstein which also included such luminaries as Magda Tagliaferro, Heinrich Neuhaus and Nadia Boulanger. In his memoir My Many Years, Rubinstein declared that Pollini ôshowed a complete supremacy over the othersö, and he reportedly declared ôthat boy plays technically better than any of us jurorsö. PolliniÆs final-round performance of ChopinÆs E Minor Concerto on CD 3 documents the juryÆs decision and RubinsteinÆs claim. PolliniÆs withdrawal in the competitionÆs aftermath may have taken the piano world aback, yet, in retrospect, seems absolutely in keeping with the pianistÆs thoughtful nature and his instinct for long-term planning. ôThe natural thing for me to have done having wonö, he told Wroe, ôwas to play concert after concert after concert. ItÆs true that I wasnÆt willing to become a Chopin specialist, but the idea that I was a recluse really has been overstated. I was very young and thought I needed more time to develop my musical interests and a bigger repertoire. I wanted to explore other arts and other things. So I stayed away from concerts for about a year and a half, and when I returned I didnÆt take on too many. But I always enjoyed performing and I made my debut in London in 1963. By the end of the 60s my performance schedule had extended itself to a more normal rhythm.ö He also had some lessons with Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, the leading Italian pianist of the day, who coincidentally shared PolliniÆs birthday. In essence, Pollini in his 20s cultivated the foundation upon which the rest of career has flourished, from the thematically unified programs he has evolved for his artistic residencies at New YorkÆs Carnegie Hall and LondonÆs South Bank Centre to his fervent championing of such similarly uncompromising, visionary contemporary composers as Pierre Boulez and Karlheinz Stockhausen. Among the works written especially for and premiered by Pollini are Luigi NonoÆs à sofferte onde sereneà and Giacomo ManzoniÆs Masse: Omaggio a Edgard VarÞse. It was not insignificant that his first DG release featured two earlier 20th-century repertoire pillars, ProkofievÆs Seventh Sonata and StravinskyÆs Three Movements from Petrushka. It was Rubinstein, in fact, who commissioned the latter û although he played them throughout his long career, he never agreed to release his interpretation in a commercial recording lest the piano world discover his (admitted) textual alterations. Not only does Pollini render Petrushka exactly as written, but he does so with incomparable poise and suppleness, unerring balances, and a control of tone color and dynamics that allows no vagaries, splinters or unintended gestures. These observations apply equally to PolliniÆs Beethoven. The taut elegance and expressive classicism of his 1978 ôEmperorö Concerto, a collaboration with Karl B÷hm and the Vienna Philharmonic, ranks among the workÆs finest recordings. Perhaps the ôpurposeful bleakness and icy linearityö that American critic Harris Goldsmith ascribed to PolliniÆs late Beethoven sonata recordings make more sense when listening to, rather than reading about, the pianistÆs Opus 111. Suffice it to say that the clarity and intensity with which he untangles the first movementÆs gnarly counterpoint or the AriettaÆs long, seamlessly delineated chains of trills leave most mortal pianism behind. Similarly, LisztÆs late works generally were more about ideas than pianistic prowess, yet La lugubre gondola I and R.W. û Venezia require unusual attention to voicing and tone color to be projected across the footlights in recital or, in the studio, through the unforgiving microphone. Rehearing PolliniÆs three selections from the first book of DebussyÆs PrÚludes Book evokes memories for this listener of the pianist playing ôLa cathÚdrale engloutieö in Carnegie Hall, where the multi-leveled dynamic gradations and subtle pedalling effects took into account the venueÆs acoustics as much as the concert grandÆs responsiveness. Carnegie Hall was one of many stops on a 1985 tour devoted to Book I of BachÆs Well-Tempered Clavier, yet Pollini took 20 years to rethink and reprocess the music before finally committing the 24 Preludes and Fugues to disc in 2008/09. By contrast, the pianist willingly relinquished his short-lived sideline as a conductor, although his leadership of MozartÆs C minor Concerto K. 491 from the keyboard reveals not the slightest compromise in soloist-orchestra synchronicity. Despite PolliniÆs successful determination not to be a specialist, he always seems to come back to Chopin, revisiting and recording the composerÆs larger-scaled works such as the Ballades, Scherzos, Second and Third Sonatas, Preludes and Nocturnes, rather than the Waltzes or Mazurkas. One might include the ╔tudes, at least as Pollini plays them, with a sense of each opus numberÆs cumulative arc. Pollini also proves the exception to the legendary pianist Josef HofmannÆs axiom that no pianist has been capable of playing all of the Chopin ╔tudes equally well. Again, Harris Goldsmith astutely and accurately observed how, under PolliniÆs fingers, ôevery one of these treacherous finger-twisters is negotiated with astounding perfectionáû velocity, even articulation, vibrant brilliance, and a wonderful succinct, uncluttered attitude towards phrasing, dynamics and rubato.ö On the topic of Chopin, Pollini has proved equally articulate away from the keyboard. ôThere is this fascinating dualism in Chopin,ö the pianist told BBC writer Ivan Hewitt. ôOn the one hand the music is so passionate, but it is also very strict and has a kind of aristocratic nobility. You know Chopin was so prudish he thought parts of Don Giovanni were vulgar! It is very difficult to combine these two sides of his character.ö Pollini could very well be describing the consistency of his own artistic character, one that achieves a perfect fusion of architecture and passion.

Although small bowel intussusception is one of the most common abdominal emergencies in childhood, it is rare in adults and usually occurs as a result of an underlying pathology. Sarcomatoid carcinoma, a very rare subtype of lung cancer, rarely metastasizes to small bowel and causes complications. In this paper, we aim to describe a patient with small bowel intussusception caused by an isolated small bowel metastasis of the sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung by reviewing the literature.
1. Introduction
Bowel obstruction is a major cause of morbidity and financial expenditure in hospitals around the world and is frequently encountered in emergency departments. It can develop for a variety of etiological reasons, with adhesions being the most common cause. Intussusceptions constitute 1–5% of all cases of bowel obstructions. Despite intussusception being commonly observed in childhood, it is a rare cause of bowel obstruction in adult populations. Small bowel intussusception (SBI) in adults can be observed in association with idiopathic or benign causes, or they may develop secondary to malignant pathologies. In the latter case, the underlying causes of intussusception can be primary small intestine tumors, such as lymphoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumors and carcinoid tumors, or the metastasis of cancers to the small intestine from other organs [1].
2. Case Presentation
A 71-year-old man was admitted to our emergency department complaining of abdominal pain and vomiting. He described the absence of gas and feces for two days. Physical examination demonstrated a distended abdomen and mild epigastric tenderness. Auscultation was indicated by hyperactive bowel sounds and a plain abdominal film showed gas-fluid levels. Aside from a hemoglobin value of 6 and a hematocrit value of 21, laboratory evaluations revealed no pathological characteristics. Based on these observations, the patient was monitored with a diagnosis of anemia and mechanical intestinal obstruction. It was also learnt that the patient had undergone surgery one year previously for a lung tumor, and that he had been diagnosed with sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung based on histopathological evaluations (pT3, pN1). The patient had had no further complaints in the following one year. Abdominal computerized tomography (CT) identified a mass located in the small intestines (Figure 1). Following preoperative preparations for the patient, a midline laparotomy was performed. Exploration revealed invagination in two different regions of the small bowel loops (Figure 2). Two separate segmental resections and primary anastomosis were performed. After opening the invaginated segments following resection, a mass with a polypoid appearance was observed. The patient had no postoperative complications or issues and was discharged with full recovery on the 7th day following surgery. During histopathological examination of the resected specimen, malignant tumor infiltration with localized fusiform cells and distinct pleomorphism was observed. Immunohistochemical evaluation revealed strong staining for vimentin, cytokeratin, and CK47, while no staining was observed for CD117, S-100 protein, HMB-45, Actin, Desmin, Synaptophysin, and CD34. As a result, small intestine metastasis of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung was reported (Figure 3). The patient died on the 9th postoperative month due to disease progression.
3. Discussion
Despite being the most common abdominal emergency in early childhood, intussusception is a rarely encountered pathology among adults. Starting from a mass or a lead point in the intestinal lumen, it is formed by telescopic invagination of the proximal loop into the distal loop. While intussusception in childhood is frequently idiopathic, in adults it commonly develops as a result of an underlying benign or malign etiology [2]. In the case series described by Chiang and Lin, adenocarcinoma was involved in the majority of colon-based cases, while cases of intussusceptions located in the small intestines generally revealed more benign etiologies [3]. In the presentation by Shi et al., 38 cases were reported as developing SBI due to metastatic disease between 1965 and 2007 [4]. Since 2007, a Medline search found 22 more cases that have been reported. The distribution of these cases is shown in Table 1. Despite 15 of these cases being reported as being associated with lung cancer metastasis, only one of these cases was related to sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung. This presentation provides a discussion of the second case in the literature.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Lung carcinoma is capable of metastasis to other regions within the body. Patients are rarely symptomatic and can be diagnosed only following the development of complications such as obstruction, perforation, or hemorrhage. The proper evaluation of abdominal pathologies during follow-up of lung cancer is thus important. Despite Garwood et al. reporting on a series of 98 patients with lung cancer, with findings of gastrointestinal metastasis for adenocarcinoma (23.7%), squamous cell carcinoma (22.7%), large cell carcinoma (20.6%), and small cell carcinoma (19.6%), cases of intussusception associated with sarcomatoid carcinoma were very rare [5]. This pathological subtype has more aggressive clinical picture compared to other non-small cell cancers [6]. In a previously reported case (pT2, pN0), intussusception developed 17 months following the diagnosis of lung cancer, and the patient died on the 21st postoperative month. In the presented case, in which the disease was at a more advanced stage, symptoms were observed earlier and the survival period was correspondingly shorter.
Although it is known that lung carcinoma can metastasize to the small intestine via the hematogenous or lymphogenous paths, the exact route followed during metastasis is not known. However, retrograde metastasis to the lymphatic system of the small intestines via the thoracic duct appears possible. Immunohistochemical staining during histopathological evaluation is important for proper identification. In a review regarding sarcomatoid of the small bowel, strong positive results were observed with vimentin, cytokeratin AE1/AE3, and CK7, while negative staining was observed for the S100 protein, muscle cell actin, desmin, carsinoembryonic antigen, CK20, and CK117, which are important in differential diagnosis from other malignant pathologies [7]. Similar results were obtained in the immunohistochemical evaluation of the presented case.
The treatment plan for adult intussusception consists of segmental resection and primary restoration of continuity of the gastrointestinal tract. As malignant pathologies are frequently observed in cases of colonic intussusception, reduction is not recommended for these cases [8]. However, in cases of SBI it has been reported that resection can be performed following manual reduction to allow the resection of a smaller segment and to avoid the occurrence of short bowel syndrome. In SBI cases related to metastatic tumors there is always a risk of tumor perforation and complications that may arise due to ischemia in the intestinal mucosa. Therefore, resection without reduction will be more suitable in these cases. Due to the tendency of metastases to occur at multiple sites, the evaluation of all intestinal segments by palpation and, if possible, intraoperative enteroscopy can be considered.
In conclusion, it is important to consider that intestinal metastases of lung cancers can occur regardless of the type of pathology, that these metastases may have different clinical manifestations, and that the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches should be planned accordingly. Therefore, the existence of lung malignancies in the history of any patient presenting with abdominal symptoms should be evaluated carefully.
