A Case of Intussusception Due to Ileal Malignant Lymphoma of AYA Generation

The case is a 17-year-old man. He had complained of right lower abdominal pain for a week. He had no symptoms such as fever, weight loss, or night sweats. He was diagnosed with intussusception by abdominal contrast-enhanced CT and was hospitalized. The day after hospitalization, lower gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed, and a tumor 25 mm in size was found in the invagination of the ileum. Intussusception was recovered by intestinal scope insufflation, and the tumor was found to be a type 1 tumor located approximately 5 cm proximal to the Bauhin's valve. On day 17 of hospitalization, he had intussusception again at the time of surgery, and performed laparoscopic reduction before performing laparoscopy-assisted partial resection of the small intestine and appendectomy. The postoperative course was good and he was discharged on POD12(on day 29 of hospitalization). Histopathological diagnosis was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL), and chemotherapy was to be administered at the referral hospital. In intussusception of the adolescents and young adults(AYA)generation, such as this case outside of childhood, it is necessary to treat the patient with consideration for the presence of neoplastic lesions such as malignant lymphoma. We report our case with some literature considerations.
