    Abstract

    Intussusception occurs rarely in adults. It presents with a variety of acute, intermittent, and chronic symptoms, thus making its preoperative diagnosis difficult. In adults, intussusceptions are mostly caused by organic lesions and the majority of these lesions are benign tumours. Computed tomography scanning and endoscopy have proved to be the most useful diagnostic methods. Confirmation of diagnosis and treatment of adult intussusception is surgical, with surgical resection of the intussusception without reduction being the preferred treatment in adults, as almost half of both colonic and enteric intussusceptions are associated with malignancy. We report the case of a patient with ileocolic intussusception due to an ileal lymphoma.
