Sigmoid intussusception and intestinal obstruction secondary to lipoma in an elderly woman: A case report

In adults, especially the elderly, intussusception secondary to lipoma is rare, and diagnosis is often complicated by intermittent symptoms. Multimodal evaluation (computed tomography, colonoscopy, and histopathology) is essential for diagnostic accuracy. Timely surgical intervention alleviates intestinal obstruction while establishing a definitive diagnosis, necessitating heightened clinical vigilance for this rare entity.

Abstract

In adults, especially the elderly, intussusception secondary to lipoma is rare, and diagnosis is often complicated by intermittent symptoms. Multimodal evaluation (computed tomography, colonoscopy, and histopathology) is essential for diagnostic accuracy. Timely surgical intervention alleviates intestinal obstruction while establishing a definitive diagnosis, necessitating heightened clinical vigilance for this rare entity.
