Abstract

Intussusception is a process of invagination of proximal bowel into distal part. Although, most of the cases in children are idiopathic. Neoplasms (benign or malignant) are the most common causes reported in the adults. Small bowel intussusceptions are most commonly associated with benign neoplasms (like lipoma, leiomyoma, hemangioma or neurofibroma) and other causes like adhesions and lymphoid hyperplasia. On contrary, large bowel intussuceptions are mostly associated with malignant neoplasms. We present a case of colo-colonic intussusception in a 58-year-old male patient of Indian origin with features of vague abdominal pain for two months, occasional vomiting and mucoid stool for same period of time with an intestinal lipoma being the lead point.
