[Primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of the small bowel presenting as an intussusception causing small bowel obstruction]
Abstract
Adult intussusception secondary to primary sarcoma is a rare cause of small bowel obstruction. Only a few cases of malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of small bowel presenting as an intussusception have been reported in the literatures. We report a case of small bowel obstruction associated with jejuno-ileal intussusception caused by MFH. A 75-year-old man was admitted with an one-month history of vomiting and epigastric pain aggravated with meals. He was diagnosed as an jejuno-ileal intussusception based on CT scanning and underwent small bowel resection and anastomosis. Resected specimens revealed a polypoid tumor in the ileum and the histology of the tumor was consistent with MFH.
