Abstract
Introduction: Intussusception in adults is rare, and can be classified into intussusception with a pathological lead point, or intussusception without a lead point. Case Report: This case report describes a 63-year-old male with a history of metastatic melanoma who presented with a two-month history of abdominal pain, which was due to an ileoileal intussusception with metastatic melanoma deposit at the lead point. He was managed with laparoscopic small bowel resection, leading to resolution of his symptoms. Conclusion: A low threshold for surgical exploration is recommended in adults with intussusception for definitive diagnosis of the cause and for symptom management.
