A 33-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a half a year history of intermittent abdominal pain followed by intensifying abdominal pain and vomiting. An abdominal computed tomography scan showed multiple tumors of various sizes with fat density in the jejunum and intussusception which appeared to be caused by the tumors. We diagnosed intestinal intussusception and performed laparoscopic surgery. The intussusception was reduced by laparoscopic surgery. We subsequently resected the jejunum including lipomatosis via a small laparotomy. The resected specimen contained multiple yellow and soft tumors which were diagnosed histopathologically as intestinal lipomatosis. Reports on intussusception caused by jejunal lipomatosis are rare, so we report herein on this case.
