Intussusception is usually seen in the pediatric age group and rarely seen in adults. It results in the progression of the proximal segment of the intestine into the distal intestine. A 50-year-old immunosuppressive male patient presented with the complaints of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and no gas or stool discharge for 2 days. He was hospitalized with the presumptive diagnosis of acute abdomen. He has a history of renal transplantation due to chronic renal insufficiency. An explorative laparotomy was performed. The operative findings were compatible with jejunojejunal intussusception, and a segmental small bowel resection and end-to-end anastomosis were performed. The patient was uncomplicated postoperatively and discharged on the fifth postoperative day. The pathology was reported as Epstein-Barr virus negative with diffuse large-cell B lymphoma. In this case report, we aim to report on a jejunojejunal intussusception that was presented as the first sign of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease.
