ENTEROENTERIC INTUSSUSCEPTION DUE TO A METASTATIC MALIGNANT FIBROUS HISTIOCYTOMA

Intussusception secondary to metastatic sarcoma is an unusual cause of small bowel obstruction. When a patient who has no history of a previous laparotomy, and has a known malignancy which metastasized hematogenously, presents with small bowel obstruction, the diagnosis of intussusception should be considered. The patient should be evaluated and treated accordingly. (C) 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
