Abstract Background Pyogenic granuloma is a benign vascular tumor, usually occurring on the skin or in the oral cavity. Small intestinal pyogenic granuloma is extremely rare, but intestinal intussusception due to the tumor is even rarer. Only 3 cases have been reported in the English literature at this writing. Case presentation An 86-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain and vomiting. Laboratory data discovered anemia. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed small bowel obstruction due to intestinal intussusception. After decompression by long tube for 1 week, the obstruction did not improve and the anemia got worse. Therefore, laparoscopic assisted small bowel resection was performed as a diagnostic therapy. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis of pyogenic granuloma. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged 10 days after surgery. Conclusions We experienced a case of intestinal intussusception and progressive anemia due to pyogenic granuloma of the ileum. Although the condition is extremely rare, surgeons must take into consideration the tumor in similar cases, and complete surgical resection is required.

This paper describes two cases of small intestinal intussusception, one in a child and one in an adult, where the findings at autopsy were atypical. The significance of intussusception in this situation is discussed and the literature related to deaths accompanied by acute small intestinal intussusception in the adult and paediatric population is reviewed. It is concluded that the findings represent a true pathological entity and not an ‘agonal’ event.

Abstract Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract and affects 1% - 4% of the general population. Most patients are asymptomatic throughout their lives, but it is estimated that 4% - 6% will have some symptoms, which usually occur due to abdominal complications. This study aimed to report a rare case of Meckel’s diverticulum complicated by intestinal intussusception.

Intestinal intussusception is rare in children over the age of 6 years and, in most cases, is due to the presence of anatomical reasons. Tumors of the gastrointestinal tract are one of the etiological factors in the development of ileus in older children. The paper presents the case of a 7-year-old child who was admitted to the clinic with the abdominal pain syndrome that resolved on its own. With a repeated pain attack, intestinal intussusception was diagnosed, the patient was urgently operated. Laparoscopic complete reduction of intussusception failed, which required conversion of the access. After straightening the intussusception of the small intestine, there was detected a tumor of the ileum, which practically blocked the intestinal lumen. The segment of the intestine with the tumor was resected with an end-to-end anastomosis. In the postoperative period, the patient was diagnosed with intestinal lymphoma based on the test studies of the operating material. After stabilizing the condition, the child was transferred to an oncological center.
