[A case of intestinal intussusception caused by multiple lipoma diagnosed preoperatively].
A 45-year-old man presented with intermittent abdominal pain for a month. Intestinal intussusception was diagnosed by the findings of abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography. Intussusception was reduced by barium enema. Based on magnetic resonance imaging, we diagnosed intestinal intussusception due to multiple lipoma. At laparotomy, after successful reduction of the intussusception with Hutchinson's maneuver, an ileoceal resection was performed. Intussusception in adults is relatively rare and may be difficult to diagnose preoperatively. In the diagnosis of this disease, abdominal echo, CT, and MRI are useful.
