Abstract

Intussusception recurs in 10% to 20% of childhood intussusception after successful nonoperative reduction. Multiple recurrences of intussusception are associated with the presence of a pathologic lead point. We describe a case of a 9-month-old boy with 4 times recurrent intussusception after nonoperative reduction caused by diffuse large B cell lymphoma lesion of the ileum. Clinical suspicion and surgical approach is needed to find rare cause of recurrent intussusception.
