A very rare case of intussusception of small bowel due to metastasis from renal cell carcinoma.
Bowel metastasis secondary to renal cell carcinoma causing intussusception is very rare condition. Here a case of a 52-year-old male, who presented with signs and symptoms of small bowel obstruction is reported. CT abdomen showed small bowel obstruction due to ileo-ileal intussusception and left renal mass. On exploratory laparotomy Ileo-ileal intussusception was present. FNAC taken from left kidney at same sitting. Histology of resected specimen reported metastatic nodule in small bowel of renal cell carcinoma. FNAC confirmed primary renal cell carcinoma of left kidney. Although abdominal CT scanning provides the most reliable indications, it is laparotomy, that establishes the diagnosis of intussusception, and the histological examination that determines the cause.
