Abstract
Intussusception is a common cause of acute abdominal pain in pediatric cases. This case report highlights a rare instance where B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL), an aggres-sive malignancy characterized by rapid B lymphocyte growth, led to intussusception in a five-year-old boy and it emphasizes the importance of an early recognition of lymphoma as a potential cause.
