“…4 Intussusception of the proximal small bowel, especially with the intussusceptum and intussuscipiens isolated to the duodenum, is a rare condition with only 16 reported cases in the literature occurring in 19 total patients (Table 1). 1,2,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Typically, the anatomic position of the duodenum in the retroperitoneal space and its fixed attachments in this region serve to prevent it from being susceptible to intussusception. However, this condition can occur due to a lead point such as a mass (90% of adults cases) 18 or secondary to congenital malrotation of the bowel, where the duodenum is more mobile, allowing the intussuception to occur.…”

Background: Duodenal masses are rare entities and symptomatic presentation generally is due to abdominal pain or the presence of gastrointestinal bleeding. A number of published case reports in the literature have detailed various neoplasms that have caused an intussusception isolated to the duodenum. This is a particularly unusual phenomenon due to the location and fixation of this portion of the proximal small bowel to the retroperitoneum. We present here a case of duodeno-duodenal intussusception secondary to a leiomyoma. Case: A 65-year-old Caucasian male presented with intermittent bloody stools and syncope over a 9-month period secondary to a duodenal leiomyoma causing intussusception, which was treated through a pancreaticoduodenectomy. Conclusion: Intussusception of the duodenum is an uncommon entity and the diagnosis of a leiomyoma should be considered in the setting of a potential mass in the small intestine.
