Abstract
Introduction: Liposarcoma (LPS) is a malignant soft tissue tumor, usually found in the retroperitoneum, extremities, or cervical area, in small bowel LPS is a very rare. We present an extremely rare case of intussusception caused by a primary small bowel LPS that was removed by surgical treatment. Presentation of case: We reported a-64-year-old female with primary small bowel liposarcoma. On examination, only abdominal pain was confirmed. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed an intestinal invagination cause by a soft tumor. The patient underwent a part of small bowel excision with the lesion. Histopathology showed the tissue to be composed of well-differentiated liposarcoma. The patient recovered well on postoperative follow-up and was discharged on the fifth day. Conclusion: LPS should be considered in differential diagnosis of adult intussusception. Surgery is the first choice for treatment, and careful observation after surgery is necessary.
