Intussusception is a rare cause of adult intestinal obstruction and unlike in children, adult intussusception is commonly caused by a lead point, requiring surgical intervention in most cases. Hamartomatous polyp is a non-neoplastic growth of tissue containing mature cells, distributed in an abnormal manner. It is often associated with intestinal polyposis syndromes such as Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and Juvenile polyposis. In the current case, we report an extremely rare case of ileo-colic intussusception secondary to a lead point of an isolated ileal hamartomatous polyp in an elderly gentleman with Neurofibromatosis type-1. Patient was successfully treated with ileo-colic resection involving the intussuscepted segment of bowel. There was an incidental finding of a nodule in the appendix and the histology confirmed this as a neurofibroma. Post-operative recovery of the patient was unremarkable.
