A 69-year-old man underwent wide excision of a polymorphic liposarcoma in his left chest wall at another hospital. One year later, he was examined in our hospital for abdominal pain and loss of appetite. Computed tomography showed ileocolic intussusception and a mass in the advanced part. A laparoscopic ileocecal resection was performed without attempting reduction. Histological examination confirmed that the tumor was a metastasis of the liposarcoma. The patient's postoperative course was good. The patient was discharged on the 10th day after the operation. Small intestinal metastasis of liposarcoma is rare and so is its presentation as intussusception. A case that was laparoscopically operable is reported.
