# Recurrent intestinal intussusception due to ileal angiolipoma: an uncommon, rare, and potentially life-threatening entity: a case report

## TL;DR

A rare case of recurring intestinal intussusception caused by an ileal angiolipoma is reported, highlighting the need for prompt surgical treatment.

## Contribution

This case report adds to the limited literature on ileal angiolipoma as a cause of intestinal intussusception.

## Key findings

- The patient had recurring abdominal pain due to ileal angiolipoma causing intussusception.
- Surgical resection and pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of angiolipoma.
- The rarity of this condition in the intestinal tract underscores the importance of early detection.

## Abstract

Angiolipoma, a rare benign intestinal tumor, is primarily diagnosed through abdominal imaging and pathological examination. Intestinal angiolipomas frequently cause intussusception, necessitating prompt surgical resection. This paper reports a 62-year-old female patient admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University with “unprovoked paroxysmal abdominal pain for 3 months.” Preoperative diagnosis indicated ascending colonic intussusception secondary to ileal angiolipoma. Pathological examination following surgical bowel resection confirmed the lesion as an (ileal) angiolipoma. Given the rarity of this pathological entity in the intestinal tract, we present this case.
