A 70-year-old white woman presented with small bowel intussusception due to metastasis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) acting as a leading point. The patient had undergone nephrectomy seven years previously. Metastatic work-up showed no additional metastases. Only three previously publicized cases of a similar kind were found. Intussusception brought about by a metastasis to the bowel wall is rare, but should be borne in mind.
