Acute intussusception Is an uncommon finding in adults. Specific features are of great importance in identifying the cause because of the wide spectrum of etiologies in adults. In over 85 % of cases, an organic disorder Is involved, Intestinal B-cell lymphoma revealed by intestinal intussusception Is very rare. We report the case of a 45-year old patient admitted with intestinal occlusion to the Emergency Department at the University Hospital Hassan II, Fes, Morocco. Abdominal CT scan showed acute intestinal intussusception associated with incarcerated bowel loop with bowel wall thickening. Without signs of pain. Surgical resection was the treatment of choice, followed by anatomopathological examination of the surgical specimen which showed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. After surgery, chemotherapy was indicated in order to improve the prognosis and to avoid a possible relapse.
