Original publication title: Low-grade or benign intestinal tumours contribute to intussusception: a report on one feline and two canine cases.
Plain-English summary
A 5-year-old cat and two adult dogs were brought in with sudden intestinal problems, including vomiting and abdominal pain. An ultrasound and surgery revealed that each pet had a benign tumor causing a blockage in their intestines, known as intussusception. The veterinarians removed the affected sections of the intestines, and all three pets recovered well after the surgery.

Abstract
Three adult patients were presented with sudden onset of intestinal signs. An intestinal intussusception was diagnosed in all three cases by ultrasound and exploratory celiotomy. Three different benign intraluminal tumours were the eliciting cause of intussusception. The tumours had equal macroscopic appearance consisting of a stalk attached to the intestinal wall with the bulk of the tumour floating in the chyme. Enterectomy without enteroplication of the concerned intestinal part cured the animals.
