We present a case of a 36-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain and vomiting. Inflammatory markers were elevated in routine investigations, while other laboratory parameters were within normal limits. Ultrasound imaging revealed a target lesion, which required further evaluation with a CT scan and confirmed ileocolic intussusception. An exploratory laparotomy showed a solid lesion measuring 5 by 6 cm in the cecum, along with evidence of ileocolic intussusception. A standard right hemicolectomy was performed, and the postoperative course was uneventful. Histopathological examination showed an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor with nodular hyperplasia. The report highlighted the importance of assessing rare neoplastic causes in patients with intussusception.
