Abstract

Inflammatory pseudotumors are tumor-like, benign lesions of uncertain pathogenesis and have most commonly been reported in the lungs. They occur rarely in the gastrointestinal tract and may cause small bowel obstruction due to intussusception or, less commonly, as an incidental finding on radiologic examination or screening endoscopy. We present a case of surgically proven jejunal intussusception caused by inflammatory pseudotumor.
