Abstract: (168 Views)

Intestinal intussusception in adults is a rare condition, accounting for up to 5% of all intestinal obstruction cases. It often involves the small intestine and can be caused by abnormal growths, either benign like lipomas or malignant. We present the case of a 60-year-old man with symptoms of small bowel obstruction. Imaging revealed an ileal obstruction, and he underwent surgery. A mass resembling a lipoma was found to be the cause of the intussusception. The mass was resected, and an anastomosis was performed. Pathology confirmed the lipoma. Although small intestinal lipomas are rare in adults, they should be considered when evaluating intestinal obstruction in adults. This case highlights the importance of considering uncommon diagnoses in adult intestinal obstruction cases.
