Abstract EN
We present a rare case of intussusception in a 41-year-old man with acute myeloid leukemia without an evidence of leukemic infiltration of the bowel.
The patient presented to the emergency room with right lower quadrant pain.
Initially he was diagnosed with typhlitis.
CT scan was done and showed ileocolic intussusception without a definitive lead point identified.
Patient underwent hemicolectomy and histopathological study of the specimen did not show any leukemic infiltrate.
High suspicion of intussusception should be kept in mind with leukemic patients presenting with abdominal pain.
