Adenomyomatous hamartoma of the small intestine: a rare cause of intussusception in an adult.
A case of small intestinal obstruction in an 82-yr-old woman caused by an ileoileal intussusception is reported. At the leading point of the intussusceptum an adenomyomatous hamartoma was found. In a review of the literature we were unable to find a similar case.
