Intussusception of the small bowel caused by submucosal lipoma: a case report

Filip Fliciński, Tomasz Błaszkowski

Abstract


Intussusception of the small intestine occurs when one part of the intestine telescopes into another, causing ischemia and obstruction. This condition is rare in adults, with the most common cause being a benign tumor in the intestinal wall. This paper presents a case of ileal intussusception caused by a submucosal lipoma in the form of a polyp. The intussusception resulted in mild discomfort, and the diagnosis was established through ultrasound and computed tomography scans. Surgical treatment was performed, involving laparoscopic reduction of the intussusception, segmental resection of the intestine, and end-to-end anastomosis. The postoperative course was uneventful.

Keywords
