Abstract
Lymphangiomas are uncommon, benign lesions of the lymphatic system that most often appear in childhood. In adults, particularly within the gastrointestinal tract, they are seen far less frequently. Cecal lymphangiomas are especially rare and are not commonly recognized as a lead point in adult intussusception. We present the case of a previously healthy 41-year-old man who developed ileocecal intussusception due to a cecal lymphangioma. This case highlights the importance of considering unusual benign etiologies when evaluating adult intussusception.
