Sumario:We report a rare case of adult intussusception caused by an inverted Meckel’s diverticulum with ectopic pancreatic tissue. A 43-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with complaints of abdominal distention, intermittent abdominal pain and nausea that she experienced 3 months ago. Abdominal computed tomography scans demonstrated ileo-ileal intussusception that contained a tumor with fat density as the lead point. Laparoscopic-assisted partial resection of the small intestine was performed. The surgical specimen showed an elongated polypoid lesion invaginated into the intestinal tract indicating an inverted Meckel’s diverticulum. Pathological findings showed a true diverticulum that ran antimesentrically, with tall columnar epithelium, a mucous gland and an islet of Langerhans. The postoperative period was uneventful, and she was discharged on the ninth postoperative day.
