Adenomyoma of the small intestine in children

Abstract

Two cases of adenomyoma of the small intestine occurring in two young children are described. One child presented with intussusception. In the other, the lesion was an incidental intraoperative finding. Underreporting is probably a major reason for the apparent rarity of this lesion in the small intestine. The condition should be considered a cause of small bowel intussusception.
