  • Title: Myoepithelial hamartoma causing small-bowel intussusception: a case report and literature review.
    Author: Ikegami R, Watanabe Y, Tainaka T.
    Journal: Pediatr Surg Int; 2006 Apr; 22(4):387-9. PubMed ID: 16572349.
    Abstract:
    We report an unusual case of a 5-month-old girl who suffered an ileo-ileal intussusception that was not reduced by hydrostatic reduction. Surgical treatment revealed that the leading point was a tumor 1.5 cm in diameter. Myoepithelial hamartoma was diagnosed histopathologically. The literature indicates that MEH rarely causes small-bowel intussusception in childhood.
