Idiopathic intussusception is the most common form of intussusception in infants and young children. In older children and adults, intussusception being rare, the lead point is usually an underlying bowel pathology (Meckel's diverticulum, hemangioma, carcinoids, polyps, submucous lipomas, etc.) and these are called pathological lead points (PLP's). The management of an obese child with recurrent abdominal pain for over 2 years, diagnosed with ileo-ileal intussusception due to submucosal lipoma is reported here.

Gastroduodenal intussusception in an elderly patient: A rare case.
Am J Emerg Med

Emergency Medicine, NYU Long Island. Electronic address:
Gastroduodenal intussusception is a rare but important cause of gastric outlet obstruction, particularly in elderly patients. We present the case of an 81-year-old female who arrived at the emergency department with complaints of epigastric pain, nausea, and vomiting. A CT scan revealed gastroduodenal intussusception, while subsequent endoscopy identified a submucosal mass, raising suspicion for either a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) or pancreatic rest.

Ileo-ileal intussusception, an infrequent cause of small bowel obstruction in adults, can be initiated by inflammatory fibroid polyps. These are uncommon, benign submucosal lesions of the gastrointestinal tract. This case report explores an adult patient with inflammatory fibroid polyps-induced ileo-ileal intussusception.

Article Synopsis
- Lymphangiomas are benign tumors usually found in children, but rare cases in adults, particularly in the colon, can lead to complications like intestinal blockage (intussusception).
- A 40-year-old woman experienced severe abdominal pain and was diagnosed with ileocecal intussusception due to a cecal lymphangioma, leading to emergency surgery.
- During laparoscopic surgery, a cystic mass was found to be a non-malignant cecal lymphangioma; the patient recovered without complications and highlights the need to consider colonic intussusception in adult lymphangioma cases.

We present an adult patient, a 39-year-old female, with chief complaints of pain in the umbilical region. The patient was further evaluated by radiological investigations and was diagnosed with small bowel intussusception caused by submucosal lipoma as the lead point. She had undergone ileal resection and anastomosis of the affected segment.

A 55-year-old man came to our hospital for a colonoscopy due to periumbilical paroxysmal pain. The colonoscopy showed a huge mass near the ascending colon, with necrosis on the surface and unclear basal boundary. The structure of the residual and basal mucosa of the mass was similar to the normal intestinal mucosa.
