ABSTRACT


Intussusception is an unusual cause of intestinal obstruction especially in adult populations. Malignant lesion accounts for approximately 30– 35% of small bowel intussusception in the adult population. We presented here a rare clinical case of a 66-year-old demented male with small bowel intussusception from intraluminal tumour of unknown origin with concurrent metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Keywords: High grade epithelioid carcinoma, Intraluminal tumor, Intussusception, Metastatic renal cell carcinoma
