[Ileo-ileo-colic invagination due to pure fibroma of the small intestine. Personal observation (author's transl)].

Starting from a case of pure fibroma of the small intestine, which led to ileo-ileo-colic invagination, the Authors review the literature on the subject. The great rarity both of the type of neoplastic pathology found and the type of induced intestinal invagination is stressed. It is concluded by asserting that correct diagnosis, adequate selection of the type of surgery and its efficient performance allow a favourable prognosis in the overwhelming majority of cases.
