Abstract
We report an unusual case of a 5-month-old girl who suffered an ileo-ileal intussusception that was not reduced by hydrostatic reduction. Surgical treatment revealed that the leading point was a tumor 1.5 cm in diameter. Myoepithelial hamartoma was diagnosed histopathologically. The literature indicates that MEH rarely causes small-bowel intussusception in childhood.Entities:
