Intususcepción en adulto como complicación de un lipoma parietal intestinal. Reporte de caso

Intussusception in adults is an extremely rare surgical clinical entity, its main etiology in this population is generally attri¬buted to malignant origin, benign pathology is less frequent and presents a challenge for pre-surgical diagnosis, since its presentation is non-specific and variable. Below is a clinical case that debuted with a clinical picture of intermittent pain in the right upper quadrant, manifesting exacerbation and non-specific laboratory tests, for which initially pathology of biliary origin was thought to be the reason for the pain, and therefore, an ultrasound of the liver and bile ducts was performed, observing signs suggestive of intussusception secondary to a lipoma, for which a simple abdominal tomography was performed to corroborate the diagnosis.
