A Case of Intussusception Caused by a Peutz-Jeghers Polyp：A Case Report

Abstract

A man in his 40s presented to a previous hospital with the complaint of abdominal pain, and was transferred to our hospital with a diagnosis of intussusception. Since abdominal contrast-enhanced CT revealed intussusception associated with a tumor of the small intestine, we performed emergency surgery via a laparoscopic approach through a median incision. An about 1-meter long segment of the small intestine containing the tumor was resected, followed by end-to-end anastomosis. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged from the hospital 10 days after the operation. Postoperative histopathology revealed a hamartomatous polyp, which was diagnosed as a Peutz-Jeghers polyp. Herein, we report a rare case of adult intussusception caused by a Peutz-Jeghers polyp.
