Core Tip	Adult intussusception is rare and often tumor-related. This case of ileocolic intussusception in a 30-year-old male underscores the critical diagnostic role of computed tomography (CT). CT not only confirmed the intussusception but, more importantly, identified the pathognomonic fat-density lead point, enabling a preoperative diagnosis of a lipoma. This case highlights that for radiologists and clinicians, recognizing this specific CT feature is key to accurate diagnosis and appropriate surgical planning in young adults. Identifying this benign feature on CT can also help avoid unnecessary oncologic surgery.
