Adult intussusception is a rare condition and, unlike in children where most cases are idiopathic, usually has an identifiable etiology. Often the leading point to adult intussusception is a benign or malignant bowel tumor. Surgical resection of the involved bowel is regarded as the treatment of choice in adult intussusception. We present a case of laparoscopic-assisted small bowel resection in the treatment of adult ileo-ileal intussusception caused by a small submucosal lipoma.
