Abstract
Intussusception secondary to metastatic sarcoma is an unusual cause of small bowel obstruction. When a patient who has no history of a previ ous laparotomy, and has a known malignancy which metastasized hematoge nously, presents with small bowel obstruction, the diagnosis of intuss usception should be considered. The patient should be evaluated and tr eated accordingly. (C) 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
