Intussusception as a cause of intestinal obstruction in adults is a very rare entity, the majority is secondary to a benign or malignant neoplasm of the small intestine. Lipomas are rare benign tumors, considered neoplasms of mature adipose tissue without pleomorphism that are found in the gastrointestinal tract as well-demarcated tumors of the submucosa, and are most often found within the wall of the small intestine. We present the case of a 72-year-old man who underwent surgery for intestinal obstruction, and an intraoperative diagnosis of small bowel intussusception secondary to a submucosal angiolipoma according to pathology. Intussusception in adults is rare, and the fact that it is due to another unusual benign entity is even rarer. Tomographic study is useful, but most are diagnosed intraoperatively. The resection "in block", is the most recommended due to the suspicion of malign...

Acute appendicitis is the most frequent surgical emergency instance in young adults; and its association with parasitic infections is rare. Of these particular cases, appendix location of hydatid cyst is extremely rare; and there have been published reports of such cases only in Iran, India, Tunisia, and Peru. We present the case of a 52-year old male subject born in Puno, with no relevant past medical history, who was admitted with a clinical condition typically consistent with acute appendicitis. When this patient underwent surgery, the appendix was found showing a cystic mass, compatible with complicated Echinococcus granulosus hydatid cyst. Later on, three additional intraabdominal hydatid cysts were identified. There was no surgical or trauma past history, so it was concluded this condition corresponded to disseminated primary intraabdominal location of hydatid disease, including th...
