A two months old desi chicken carcass was received for necropsy. On necropsy the oesophagus was found directly entering into the gizzard and the proventriculus could not be located grossly. Further complete telescoping of proventriculus into the gizzard was observed. Based on the gross findings, the case was diagnosed as proventricular intussusception into gizzard. On histopathological examination, the proventricular mucosa revealed diffuse moderate diphtheritic proventriculitis. The incidence of intussusception of proventriculus is rare and this condition might be due to increased peristalsis associated with intestinal helminthiasis.
