Abstract EN
Intussusception is the cause of around 1% of all bowel obstructions in adults.
Unlike in children, where intussusception is most often idiopathic in nature, cases in adults usually have an identifiable etiology, most commonly malignancy.
Symptoms are usually non-specific, but timely identification and management is crucial due to high rates of carcinoma as the lead point of intussusception.
Here we present a rare case of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the colon that presented as ileoileal intussusception.
Diagnostic and treatment issues are also discussed.
