A 37-year-old woman with no relevant past medical history presented to the emergency department after a 2-day-long period of crampy abdominal pain with an inability for oral intake because of persistent vomiting. The physical examination was unremarkable. Abdominal CT scan with water-soluble oral contrast revealed an ileocecal intussusception (Fig. 1). Because the patient was hemodynamically stable and no abdominal tenderness was found, a delayed surgical intervention was planned with laparoscopic approach. During intervention, the intestinal invagination was reduced, a cecal neoplasm suspected, and a right hemicolectomy with complete mesocolic excision was performed (Fig. 2). Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with discharge on postoperative day 5. The definite pathological report showed well-differentiated colon adenocarcinoma pT2N1aMx, with 1 of 49 positive lymph nodes.

D007443 Intussusception A form of intestinal obstruction caused by the PROLAPSE of a part of the intestine into the adjoining intestinal lumen. There are four types: colic, involving segments of the LARGE INTESTINE; enteric, involving only the SMALL INTESTINE; ileocecal, in which the ILEOCECAL VALVE prolapses into the CECUM, drawing the ILEUM along with it; and ileocolic, in which the ileum prolapses through the ileocecal valve into the COLON.
