Abstract EN
Intussusception as a cause of intestinal obstruction in adults is rare.
There is invariably an underlying pathology which leads to intussusception in adults.
A case of intussusception in an adult due to a small intestinal lipoma is presented in view of this association.
Ultrasound and CECT may help in a preoperative diagnosis.
However early surgical intervention is the mainstay of treatment in order to confirm the diagnosis of the underlying pathology, thereby avoiding misdiagnosis of an underlying cancer.
