Abstract:
The present investigation was carried out from December, 2016 to November 2017. During this period, a total number of 738 specimens of lower gastrointestinal tract of buffaloes, suspected for abnormalities were examined irrespective of age, sex, and breeds in North-West Rajasthan. For abnormalities were further processed for histopathological examination. An overall occurrence of various pathological conditions affecting the lower gastrointestinal tract of buffaloes was observed as 32.24 percent whereas, the incidence of, Lipoma 0.42 percent. Intussusception as a cause of intestinal obstruction in adults is rare. There is invariably an underlying pathology which leads to intussusception in adults. A case of intussusception in an adult due to a small intestinal lipoma is presented in view of this association. Ultrasound and CECT may help in a preoperative diagnosis.
