Acute intestinal intussusception remains a rare pathology in adults which is often secondary to an underlying anomaly, unlike in children. the atypical semiology and the lack of knowledge of this pathology among practitioners makes clinical diagnosis difficult. CT remains the examination of choice for positive diagnosis with rare recourse to exploratory laparoscopy in cases of diagnostic doubt. In the absence of consensus for a conservative approach and given the risk of malignancy of the underlying lesions, surgery remains the rule with oncological resection removing the intussusception tube without any attempt at intraoperative manual reduction. In this paper we report a case of acute intestinal intussusception in which the pathological study of the surgical specimen reveals unusual parietal lesions.
