Abstract

We present a rare case of small bowel intussusception that occurred in a young adult with unsuspected metastatic melanoma, diagnosed by imaging, laparotomy and histological examination. We further discuss the clinical presentation, imaging and surgical findings, and provide a brief discussion of adult intussusception.
