Abstract
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 non-specific 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.
