[Intestinal invagination caused by lipoma of the small intestine].
A case of ileo-colic invagination caused by lipoma of the last loop of the small intestine is reported. The anatomo-clinical features of this neoformation are illustrated and stress is laid on certain special aspects: the rarity (about 300 cases have been described in the literature), the lack of symptomatology and its insidious development without pathognomonic sign up to the occurrence of occlusive episodes. The surgery carried out and the result obtained are reported.
