Abstract : |
Adult intussusception represents only about 5% of all intussusceptions and is usually caused by a small bowel tumor acting as the apex of invagination. We report an unusual case in a 57-years-old woman with intussusception caused by a tumor located in the jejunum. We performed jejunal resection with end-to-end anastomosis. Histologically the diagnosis was angiofibroma with mixoid areas, without malign aspects. Benign tumors of the small bowell are rare clinical entities and angiofibroma is a very unusual benign tumor of the gastrointestinal tract., |
