Abstract:
Intussusception secondary to Primary Non-Hodgkin lymphoma presenting colo-colic variety is a very rare clinical entity and sometimes causing diagnostic dilemma due to non-specific, varied & wide spectrum presentation. In this study, a 9 years female child presented with recurrent, intermittent, colicky abdominal pain with occasional bilious vomiting, along with a left illiac fossa swelling & occasional per rectal bleeding and constipation for 3 months was clinically diagnosed as a case of recurrent obstructing intussusception. At laparotomy, a colo-colic intussusception with prolapsed intussusception was marked & finally on histopathology, she was diagnosed as a case of colo-colic variety of intussusception due to primary Non-Hodgkin lymphoma- a pathological lead point in mid transverse colon. After uneventful recovery of post operative period she was treated with combination chemotherapy accordingly & follow up was given up to 5 years. She had been found alright without any recurrence or organ involvement. The study focused on the avoidance of unusual delay in diagnosis as well as in proper management of rare variants of intussusception.

Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
