Adult Ileo-ileal Intussusception Caused by an Ileal Lipoma
A 32-year-old obese patient presented with a history of intestinal obstruction. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) scan revealed ileo-ileal intussusception. The patient underwent a right hemicolectomy, and the cause of the intussusception was identified as an ileal lipoma. This case highlights the importance of considering lipomas as a potential cause of intussusception in adults, particularly when they present with intestinal obstruction
