# Jejunal Intussusception Due to an Adenocarcinoma

## TL;DR

A rare case of adult intussusception caused by a jejunal tumor is reported, diagnosed through surgery and treated with laparoscopic resection.

## Contribution

This paper presents a rare clinical case of jejunal adenocarcinoma causing intussusception in an adult.

## Key findings

- Intussusception in adults is often tumor-related, as seen in this case of jejunal adenocarcinoma.
- The patient presented with iron deficiency anemia and was diagnosed during surgical exploration.
- Laparoscopic resection successfully treated the affected jejunal segment.

## Abstract

Intussusception occurs when a segment of the intestine telescopes into a neighboring part of the bowel. While it is uncommon in adults, unlike in children, when it does occur, a tumor is usually the underlying cause. Here, we report a rare case of a male patient diagnosed with jejunal adenocarcinoma, who initially presented with iron deficiency anemia. Intussusception was identified during surgery, and a laparoscopic resection of the affected jejunal segment was carried out.
