Introduction: Intussusception is a rare condition in adults. A pathological lesion is usually found with a significant percentage of malignancy. The optimal treatment is still not universally clear. Methods: This is a retrospective review of adult patients with a diagnosis of intestinal intussusception and surgically treated at our institution from January 2009 to December 2018. Clinical, operative, and histological details were collected and analyzed. Results: A total of 26 cases, 16 males and 10 females, were diagnosed with surgically proven intussusception during the 10-year period. The mean age was 45 years (range 21–70). Using ultrasound and/or computed tomography as imaging study, the preoperative diagnosis was made in 21/26 (81%) patients. Five intussusceptions were discovered only upon exploratory laparotomy for intestinal obstruction. There were 19 (73%) cases of enteric and 7 (27%) cases of colonic intussusceptions. All patients underwent surgical exploration. Intestinal resection with immediate anastomosis was the technique of choice for most patients. A single patient underwent stoma for peritonitis secondary to intestinal perforation. An organic cause has been systematically revealed, and no idiopathic intussusception was detected. Etiology was malignant in 9 (35%) cases. Conclusion: Adult intussusception should be considered in any patient with subacute abdominal pain. Considering the high rate of malignancy, intestinal resection without attempting reduction is highly recommended for colonic intussusceptions. However, a more selective approach can be adopted for enteric intussusceptions.

“…In a retrospective study carried out by Singhal et al on a total of 939 adult patients presenting with intestinal obstruction, 17 patients were diagnosed with intussusception as the cause of obstruction with the most common symptom noted being abdominal pain. Out of the 17 patients diagnosed, majority had small intestinal causes, with inflammatory fibroid polyp serving as the lead point of intussusception in one of the patients [3] .…”

“…It is found in only 0.08% of abdominal surgeries. 4 In contrast to the paediatric frame, the clinical introduction of adult intussusception is generally variable and nonspecific. The clinical trial of abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, and abdominal mass is rarely encountered.…”

The primary report of intussusception was made in 1674 by Barbette of Amsterdam. It increases the patient's risk of intestinal obstruction, parietal ischemia, perforation, and peritonitis. Small intestinal submucosal lipomas are an uncommon kind of gastrointestinal tumour. It is a silent disease that occasionally causes gastrointestinal haemorrhage, intussusception, and bowel obstruction. Surgery is frequently required to confirm the diagnosis and rule out an underlying malignancy. We present a case of submucosal lipoma causing enteric obstruction in a young female.
