    Abstract:
    Intussusception with a lipoma as a lead point and associated bowel obstruction is very uncommon in adults. The patient presents with abdominal pain and intermittent or sudden intestinal obstruction requiring surgical intervention. We report the case of a 68-year-old male who presented with complaints of severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and constipation. A CT scan revealed ileocecal intussusception with a lipoma as a lead point. Evidence of small bowel obstruction and ascites was also noted on imaging. The patient underwent an ileocecal resection followed by an ileocolic side-to-side anastomosis. Pathological examination of the specimen revealed two adjacent submucosal lipomas with focal mucosal ischemic hemorrhagic changes of the large distal lipoma. We present this case owing to its rarity and believe that it will serve to broaden the horizon of research regarding intussusceptions secondary to submucosal lipomas.
