Fibrolipoma, a Rare Lead Point for Adult Jejuno-Jejunal Intussusception: A Case Report

Adult jejuno-jejunal intussusception is an uncommon condition usually caused by a structural lead point, often a tumor. This case describes intussusception triggered by a fibrolipoma, a benign tumor of fatty and fibrous tissue, in a patient presenting with intestinal obstruction symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, and distension. Computed tomography (CT) imaging showed the classic “target sign” and identified the fibrolipoma as the lead point, which was confirmed during surgery requiring resection of both the tumor and affected jejunal segment. Although rare and often asymptomatic, fibrolipomas should be considered in adult intussusception, as timely diagnosis and surgical treatment are crucial to prevent complications like bowel ischemia.
