Abstract
Hodgkin's disease or Hodgkin's lymphoma is a rare malignant hemopathy characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells, of lymphoid origin but whose cause remains unknown. Subdiaphragmatic localized forms are rare and represent 6 to 13% [4,6]. Their revelation by acute intestinal intussusception is exceptional, which means that there are very few data published in the literature. We report the case of a 70-year-old patient, admitted with a picture of intestinal obstruction. Abdominal CT scan revealed intestinal intussusception, with several deep adenopathies. The patient underwent surgery and benefited from ileocecal resection removing the intussusception. Histological examination of the mass returned in favor of Hodgkin's lymphoma. In this case, we provide an overview of the presentation of a rare case of subdiaphragmatic Hodgkin's lymphoma revealed by acute intestinal intussusception.
