Abstract:
Adult intussusception is an uncommon clinical entity, representing approximately 5% of all intussusception cases and 1%-5% of intestinal obstructions in adults. (1) In contrast to the pediatric population, adult intussusception is most often secondary to an underlying organic lesion, frequently a neoplasm. Malignant lesions account for nearly 30%-50% of small bowel cases. (2) Among these, primary small intestinal lymphoma is a rare cause, with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) being particularly uncommon. We herein report a case of chronic intermittent intussusception revealing primary DLBCL of the small intestine, emphasizing the diagnostic challenges encountered in this rare presentation.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
