An ileal adenomyoma leading to intussusception is very rare. We describe the case of a 4‐month‐old boy who presented with hematochezia. He was diagnosed with ileal adenomyoma by sonography, which was confirmed by histopathology. This case confirms that sonography is the preferred modality to diagnose an ileal adenomyoma.
