Intussusception is a rare condition in adults and represents 1% to 5% of the total cases of intestinal obstruction. Preoperative diagnosis occurs only in a few patients and most of the cases are diagnosed during surgery. A demonstrable etiology is found in 70% to 90% of cases in adult intussusceptions, and approximately 40% of them are caused by primary or secondary malignant tumors. We report the case of a 32 year old male patient with an ileocolic intussusception secondary to Hodgkin's lymphoma, as well as the surgical treatment, and outcome.
