Jejuno-jejunal intussusception secondary to diffuse intestinal lipomatosis.

A 25-year-old man presented to the emergency department with severe abdominal pain and vomiting. He had previously presented 10 days prior with similar symptoms. Computed tomography imaging showed a large jejuno-jejunal intussusception. Multiple intestinal masses were identified intraoperatively with the rare diagnosis of intestinal lipomatosis later confirmed via histopathology. Diagnosis and management of rare surgical pathologies is always challenging. Intussusception should always be considered as a differential diagnosis for abdominal pain in adults, as adult intussusception is typically due to a structural abnormality with majority of cases requiring surgical intervention. Exploratory laparotomy with segmental resection and primary anastomosis proved to be a successful approach in our case, with the patient having an uneventful recovery. Follow-up has consisted of gastrointestinal endoscopy and colonoscopy, which have not demonstrated any further lipomas.
