Description
Summary:A woman in her 60s with anemia was diagnosed with a small intestinal intussusception on computed tomography. She underwent a double‐balloon endoscopy, which revealed submucosal tumor in the ileum. Suspected to be the cause of anemia and intussusception, surgical intervention was carried out, revealing it to be a schwannoma. Schwannomas of the small intestine are very rare, and because exophytic growths are common, intussusception due to luminal side development is even rarer.

Surgical intervention was carried out, revealing it to be a schwannoma.
