Intussusception is a pathology of infants and young children. Its occurrence in adults is very unusual. In the vast majority of cases, it is secondary to a benign or malignant tumor. Small bowel malignancies are relatively rare, 1% - 5% of malignant tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Acute intussusception, a rare pathology in adults, often presents with non-specific symptoms. Contrary to children, the organic origin remains preponderant in the elderly, where the origin of neoplasia must be suspected in first intention. We report the case of a 49-year-old patient admitted urgently from the Luxembourg “Mère Enfant” hospital center in Bamako, Mali, for an occlusive syndrome. Several abdomino-pelvic ultrasounds were performed in several clinics with mixed conclusions: Hydro-aeric distension and a cessation of matter and gas without a clearly visible mass (04/09/2022);Demonstration of the central hydro-aeric levels wider than high containing fine and regular folds corresponding to connivents whose aspect is in factor of left acute small intestine occlusion, to be completed by the surgical opinion (06/09/2022) and a third ultrasound showed a normal appearance of the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, bladder and prostate;diffuse aero-colic distention without lesion of secondary appearance (21/11/2022). A frontal standing ASP dated 11/25/2022 showed hail-like hydro-aeric levels. Surgical management consisted of an open oncological resection of an obstructive bowel tumor with ileo-ileal invagination. The anatomopathological and immunohistochemical study of the surgical specimen concluded to diffuse small cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, without vascular embolism. The resection limits pass into the healthy zone.
