Adult intussusception is rare and is usually caused by a tumor serving as a lead point. Surgery is necessary to treat obstruction and rule out malignancy. However, if a benign cause (lipoma, fibroma, or Meckel's diverticulum) is suspected preoperatively, a minimally invasive surgical approach should be considered. This case illustrates the laparoscopic management of benign small bowel intussusception due to lipoma.
