Myoepithelial hamartoma causing small-bowel intussusception: a case report and literature review

Ryoichi Ikegami et al. Pediatr Surg Int. 2006 Apr.

Abstract

We report an unusual case of a 5-month-old girl who suffered an ileo-ileal intussusception that was not reduced by hydrostatic reduction. Surgical treatment revealed that the leading point was a tumor 1.5 cm in diameter. Myoepithelial hamartoma was diagnosed histopathologically. The literature indicates that MEH rarely causes small-bowel intussusception in childhood.
