While postoperative pathology remains the gold standard for diagnosis, accurate preoperative identification through various diagnostic methods is essential for effective treatment planning. To raise awareness of this condition, we present a case of a middle-aged male diagnosed with LAMN.

Article Synopsis
- Intussusception, a bowel obstruction in kids, can sometimes result from serious conditions like Burkitt's lymphoma, as illustrated in a case involving a 14-year-old boy who underwent surgery for ileocolic intussusception.
- The patient initially experienced abdominal pain, and imaging revealed a mass in the intestine leading to surgical intervention, which confirmed the presence of Burkitt's lymphoma.
- It's important for doctors to consider underlying diseases like Burkitt's lymphoma in pediatric intussusception cases that don’t respond to standard treatments, as prompt surgical action greatly enhances survival chances.
