Abstract:
Abstract: In this study a case of ileal subserosal lipoma with ileocolic intussusception is reported, together with a review of the literature. The patient, a 37‐year‐old female, was admitted with melena and abdominal pain. A complete blood cell count revealed microcytic anemia. An ultrasonography and CT scan revealed ileocolic intussusception. On colonoscopy, a tumor was seen at the site of the ileocecal valve. Subsequently, the tumor was retracted mechanically using an endoscope. An ileogram taken after retraction revealed the tumor to have been about 50 cm proximal to the ileocecal valve. In addition to the tumor, 6 cm of the ileum was resected. The tumor was 2.5 cm in diameter; the histological diagnosis was subserosal lipoma of the ileum. This is a rare case of intussusception due to an intestinal lipoma diagnosed by various visual examinations before surgery.
