ABSTRACT
Intussusception in an adult is an uncommon condition. In contrast to the condition occuring in infants and children in adults, it is usually secondary to an intraluminal tumor. Hemangioma is a very rare cause of intussusception. The most frequent symptoms of intussuscepting hemangioma of the gastrointestinal tract are cramping abdominal pain, vomiting and melena. The treatment is usually resection. We experienced a case of hemangioma in the ileum with intussusception. After laparotomy and resection of the ileal segment, end to end anastomosis was performed.
