    Abstract:
    Intussusception is the telescoping of one segment of bowel into the adjacent segment. It is more commonly seen in children,however rarely encountered in adult patients. Proximal segment of bowel is called intussusceptum which is intussuscepted into the lumen of the adjacent distal segment known as intussuscipiens. There is always a lead point causing this disorder especially in adults. We presented a case of a 45 year old man who presented in emergency department of our institute with history and clinical features of acute intestinal obstruction since 10 days. Patient was resuscitated, investigated and taken for exploratory laparotomy under General anaesthesia. Segment of involved small gut was resected and well circumscribed polypoidal mass was found in intussuscepted bowel. Histopathological examination of the specimen revealed the features of inflammatory fibroid polyp.
