Abstract
Introduction: Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular tumor with an epithelioid and histiocytoid appearance. Intestinal intussusception can manifest as chronic abdominal pain, representing only 1-5% of intestinal obstructions in adults.
Case report: 65-year-old female who is attended with chronic abdominal pain. We performed a computed tomography showing the incursion of the ileum into the right colon. She was taken to the operating table, with the finding of ileo-colic intestinal intussusception due to small bowel tumor, with subsequent anatomopathological results of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.
Conclusions: The diagnosis and management process with an appropriate postoperative outcome is described.
