  • Title: Ileo-ileal Intussusception in an Adult Caused by Vanek's Tumour: A Rare Case Report.
    Author: Teli B, Cp M, S S, Mv S.
    Journal: J Clin Diagn Res; 2013 Dec; 7(12):2994-5. PubMed ID: 24551704.
    Abstract:
    Adult intussusception is relatively rare in patients with bowel obstructions. Adult invagination is mostly caused by benign tumours. Intussusceptions caused by inflammatory fibroid polyps (IFPs) are uncommon. IFPs are rare, localized, non-neoplastic lesions originating in the submucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. We are reporting a rare case of intestinal obstruction caused by an ileo-ileal intussusception, caused by an IFP, a rare but peculiar and always benign tumour.
