Intussusception in adolescents is usually idiopathic in nature. A 17-year-old woman with diffuse large B cell lymphoma presented with signs of intestinal obstruction after initiation of induction chemotherapy. On evaluation, the patient was diagnosed to have ileoileal intussusception with intestinal lymphangiectasia as the lead point. Intestinal lymphangiectasia as a rare cause for intussusception and its relationship with lymphoma is discussed in this case report.
