    Abstract:
    We present an adult patient, a 39-year-old female, with chief complaints of pain in the umbilical region. The patient was further evaluated by radiological investigations and was diagnosed with small bowel intussusception caused by submucosal lipoma as the lead point. She had undergone ileal resection and anastomosis of the affected segment. The postoperative period was uncomplicated, and the patient continued with regular oral intake. The histopathological analysis revealed it to be adipose tissue with no features of atypia. This case shows the rare presentation of small bowel intussusception due to a submucosal lipoma. It emphasizes the significance of diagnostic imaging tools for diagnosis and the need for surgery for proper administration.
