We report the case of a 32-year old female without previous illness. At hospital admission she reported having four days with clinical symptoms such as: intense abdominal pain, gastric vomit, and feces absence. At physical examination, mass in lower quadrant, non-mobile, and painless. Normal laboratory results. Abdominal radiologic studies and ultrasound with 10 x 12 cm mass. The patient was with acute appendicitis diagnosis and laparotomy was done. Transoperatory finding was: ileo-ileal necrotic intussusception. Intestinal resection and anastomosis were performed. Postoperatory evolution was normal. Pathologic study reported: multiple intestinal lipomatosis, mucous erosion, and acute inflammatory process. Frequency of this uncommon pathology is analyzed in the world literature.
