Colocolic intussusception secondary to submucosal lipoma

Isaac Boyack et al. Am J Emerg Med. 2020 Aug.

Abstract

Adult intussusception is an uncommon cause of abdominal pain and poses diagnostic challenges for emergency physicians due to its varied presenting symptoms and time course. We report a case of chronic colocolic intussusception secondary to a lead point submucosal lipoma. Dedifferentiating intussusception with or without a lead point is important in determining appropriate management.

Keywords: Intussusception; Lead point mass; Lipoma.
