Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Ileo- ileal intussusception is a rare case of intestinal obstruction in adults, often secondary to a pathological lead point. Diffuse intestinal lipomatosis is characterized by multiple lipomas within the intestinal wall and is an uncommon entity contributing to intussusception. We present a case of an adult male with ileo-ileal intussusception due to diffuse intestinal lipomatosis, highlighting its clinical presentation, diagnostic approach and surgical management.
