The intestinal intussusception as a cause of bowel obstruction in adult is a rare finding and is a heralder for an underlying lesion. This is in stark contrast to intestinal intussusception in pediatric population where the etiology is always a primary or benign condition and thus bears different outcomes. We hereby present a case of a young female adult, without the presence of any significant comorbidity. She presented with nonspecific symptoms of small bowel intussusception. She was diagnosed as a case of adult intussusception with abdominal ultrasonography. The patient underwent complete resection of the tumor, without any reduction attempts, as the best plausible therapeutic approach. Further, in post-operative evaluation, complete pathological analysis of the resected specimen divulged the presence of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) as the underlying lead point of mid-ileo-ileal intussusception.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
