MARQUEZ-USTARIZ, Alfonso C.; SINGH-BOSCAN, Carla S. e PINTO-LESMES, Ernesto. Intestinal intussusception due to Burkitt’s lymphoma in an adult. First report in Latin America. Cir. cir. [online]. 2022, vol.90, n.5, pp.693-696. Epub 18-Nov-2022. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.21000501.
Intestinal intussusception is a pathology in which an intestinal segment and its mesentery are telescoped into an adjacent intestinal segment as a result of peristalsis, and in many cases cause intestinal obstruction. Its etiology can be variable, including intestinal diverticula, adhesion bands, vascular malformations, neoplasms, among others. The vast majority occur in pediatric patients, however, up to 5% of these are documented in adult patients and their main etiology in this age group are neoplasms. We present a case of intestinal intussusception secondary to Burkitt’s lymphoma that received management at fourth level hospital in Bogotá, Colombia.
