    Abstract:
    A case report of chronic ileocecal intussusceptions in 3-years old Sudanese boy diagnosed as abdominal Burkett's lymphoma as leading point, who presented to his local hospital severely wasted with prolonged abdominal symptoms. Ultra sound and computed tomographic scan of his abdomen and pelvis with oral contrast confirmed intussusception. He was referred to pediatric surgical department and underwent laparotomy confirming ileocecal intussusception with resection of gangrenous part of his large and small bowel with end-to-end anastomosis. Histopathology of resected part showed infiltration of small bowel with cells of Burkett's lymphoma. This case highlights the importance of considering chronic intussusception, though rare, as a cause of faltering growth in young children with prolonged abdominal symptoms. The multidisplinary approach was highly appreciated and the outcome was satisfactory.
