Colo-colonic intussusception secondary to Burkitt lymphoma with concurrent malignant small bowel mesh adhesion

Intussusception is a rare presentation in adult population and usually occurs secondary to an underlying pathology. We report an unusual case of a 28-year-old female who developed a colo-colonic intussusception secondary to Burkitt lymphoma which was managed with an extended right hemicolectomy. The case was further complicated by a segment of small bowel with malignant adhesion to a prosthetic mesh requiring resection of the involved segment of small bowel. We have discussed the significance of this case as well as general considerations in the surgical management of adult intussusception.
