“…Most of adult intussusception cases (approximately 90%) are secondary to other benign or malignant disorders with a lead point lesion. The etiologic factor might be a benign lesion like, fibroid polyp, lipoma, Meckel's diverticulum, Crohn's disease and Yersinia enterocolitis or a malignant tumor such as a primary carcinoma, metastatic carcinoma such as melanoma, GISTs, lymphoma, or carcinoid tumor [3,5,6]. In contrast to pediatric intussusception cases most of which are primary and benign, most of adult patients have structural lesions, especially malignancy in colonic cases [7].…”

Intussusception which presents with palpable mass, abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea is a rare condition in adulthood. Most of adult intussusception cases are secondary to benign or malign lesions. Entamoeba histolytica is a common pathogen leading to chronic bloody diarrhea in developing countries. We report a 22-year-old patient presenting with abdominal pain and chronic bloody mucoid diarrhea, which intestinal amebiasis delayed diagnosis of intussusception secondary to colonic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Rationale: Intussusception is defined as the invagination or telescoping of a proximal portion of the intestine into the distal portion of the intestine. Intussusception can occur at any age but is more common among children. Most cases of intussusception in adults have a pathological lead point. Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is a rare benign tumor-like lesion arising from the submucosa of the gastrointestinal tract that can cause intussusception in adults. Here, we report a case of adult intussusception due to IFP. We also present a literature review of 31 reports including 34 cases between 2012 and December 2019, which shows a mean age of 45.4 ± 14.2 years and female dominance (23/34) of intussusception due to IFP. Patient concerns: A 47-year-old man presented with a half-day history of epigastric abdominal pain. Physical examination revealed distension and tenderness of the upper abdomen. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis demonstrated intussusception of the jejunum along with a suspicious jejunal mass associated with mesenteric lymphadenopathies. Diagnosis: Intussusception of the jejunum along with a suspicious jejunal mass, and histopathological examination of the resected specimen showed IFP. Interventions: The patient underwent emergency laparotomy. The intussusception was resected without attempts for reduction. Outcomes: The postoperative period was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on the fourth postoperative day. Lessons: Intussusception in adults is rare, especially that secondary to IFP. The most commonly used diagnostic tool for adult intussusception is abdominal CT, and the optimal management is resection of the involved bowel segment without reduction if malignancy cannot be ruled out.

Abstract: intussusception secondary to IFPs of the small intestine are difficult to diagnose without recognition of its clinical and pathological characteristics. CT is useful in confirming an anatomical abnormality, histological examination establishes the final diagnosis of IFPs.
