Intussusception is a common cause of bowel obstruction in the pediatric population. Malignant lesions account for up to 30 % of all cases of intussusception in the small intestine. We herein report an interesting case of ileo-colic intussusception caused by diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, in a child. The patient underwent laparoscopic right hemicolectomy. Pathologic evaluation revealed a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
In cases of intussusception, especially in the older age group of children, a high index of suspicion for malignant lymphoma of the bowel should be observed.
