Intestinal Lipoma Acting as a Lead Point of Intussusception: A Case Series
Lipoma is a benign cause of intussusception that can occur in both the small intestine and the colon. The symptoms of adult intussusception are often atypical and variable. Imaging modalities, particularly PET/CT, are instrumental in diagnosing intussusception due to lipomas, differentiating between benign and malignant causes, and assessing the severity to inform treatment strategies.
