A Rare Case of Non Hodgkin Lymphoma in an Adult Causing Intussusception

Intussusception in an adult is an uncommon, challenging situation to any surgeon.The causes for intussusception in adults are different from that of in children.Since malignancy could be one of the causes, surgery should be preferred over conservative treatment.Here we present a rare case of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) in an adult causing Intussusception.The patient was admitted to our hospital complaining of long-standing, unresolved abdominal pain.After USG abdomen and CT abdomen, intussusception was diagnosed.The patient underwent emergency surgery.Right sided hemicolectomy was performed and HPE diagnosis was malignant B-cell lymphoma that involved the ileocecal valve.This case explains the need for surgeons to consider malignant conditions for potential causes of intussusception in adults, to give the correct surgical treatment.
