Acute intussusception is a pathology of infants and young children. Its occurrence in adults is rare. It is of various etiology. In the vast majority of cases, it is secondary to a tumor which can be benign or malignant. We report the case of a 77-year-old patient, admitted to the emergency department of our structure for an acute intestinal obstruction, an abdominal CT scan showed acute small intestine intussusception on a small intestine tumor complicated by perforation. Treatment was open surgical resection. The anatomopathological and immunohistochemical study of the surgical specimen concluded to a small intestine GIST. From this new case and after analysis of the literature, we discuss the clinical and diagnostic characteristics and the therapeutic possibilities of this rare pathology.
