Adult intussusception is a relatively infrequent, but well documented entity in the Western surgical literature, where the majorities of cases is caused by tumors and require resection. In Africa and other tropical locations, however, other causes of adult intussusceptions predominate and must be considered. As Western trained surgeons increasingly volunteer in developing countries it is imperative to become familiar with the complex presentation and differential diagnosis of this disease. We present an illustrative case of adult intussusception with a complex differential diagnosis that we recently treated during a surgical mission to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
成人肠套叠在西方外科文献中是一种相对少见但记录详尽的病症，其中大多数病例由肿瘤引起，需要进行切除手术。然而，在非洲和其他热带地区，成人肠套叠的其他病因更为常见，必须加以考虑。随着接受西方培训的外科医生越来越多地在发展中国家志愿服务，熟悉这种疾病的复杂表现和鉴别诊断至关重要。我们介绍一例成人肠套叠的典型病例，该病例鉴别诊断复杂，是我们最近在刚果民主共和国的一次外科医疗任务中治疗的。
