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.

Intussusception is the invagination of one segment of the bowel into the adjacent bowel segment leading to obstruction, intestinal ischemia and, in severe cases, peritonitis and perforation. While the condition is more common in children, adult intussusception does occur and is often attributed to malignancy. In this case report, we discuss an adult man who presented for weight loss and intermittent abdominal pain and was ultimately found to have ileocecal intussusception on CT imaging.

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.
