Core Tip
Core tip: We observed an extremely rare case of small bowel intussusception caused by cystic lymphangioma. Dozens of lymphangiomas of the small bowel have previously been reported. Of these, few cases with intussusception have been reported. In the present case, single-incision laparoscopic-assisted surgery was useful for treating the telescoped lesion. To our knowledge, no cases of small bowel intussusception due to lymphangioma have been treated by laparoscopic surgery.
