Consequently, an abdominal CT was performed, which showed a wall thickening and hyperemia of a proximal ileal segment, with a typical "target sign" as for ileo-ileal intussusception (Figures 1A,B).

As a consequence, an urgent laparoscopy was performed, and a twenty-centimeters-long ileo-ileal invagination was detected (Figures 2, 3).

The lesion was coated with ulcerated mucosa and composed of myofibroblastic-like spindle cells admixed with inflammatory cells, including many eosinophils (Figures 4, 5).
