INTRODUCTION: Intussusception is one of the most frequent complications of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome which has been well described before. CASE REPORT: Herein, a voluminous intussusception with almost the whole midgut involved in a 13-year-old girl is reported, the radiological presentation was so similar with that of abdominal cocoon that she was initially misdiagnosed accordingly. After the laparotomy confirmation, a careful review was taken on the patient's CT images, a few clues for differentiation were found but proved obscure and an overriding premise for identification is just to take the diagnosis of intussusception into consideration. CONCLUSION: Based mainly on our experience, clinicians should be aware of voluminous intussusception as a unique differentiation of abdominal cocoon and consider it in each case of voluminous abdominal mass. |
