We present the case of a 68 year-old male patient with secondary intestinal intussuspection due to a submucous lipoma of the ileum. This is a rare entity in adults and is usually due to an organic lesion. The clinical manifestation is characterized by vomiting, abdominal pain and melenas.
In our case the patient, following a colonoscopy and an abdominal CAT, was subjected to an extended resection of caecum and terminal ilium.
At present, the precision of the etiological diagnosis of intussuspections has increased thanks to the development of image tests, like CAT. Early surgical treatment is recommended, without intraoperative deintussuspection given the high risk of presenting a malign or ischemic lesion in the adult.Downloads
