Abstract | Intussusception of the bowel is rather rare in adults and in about 80-90% of the cases is secondary to an underlying intraluminal pathology that serves as a lead point. In cases of colonic intussusception malignancy occurs in 63-66% of patients and it is usually adenocarcinoma and rarely lymphoma. The presenting symptoms are non specific and are in most cases of long duration, consistent with a chronic intussusception causing partial intestinal obstruction. We present a rare case of primary colorectal lymphoma in a 29 years old female that was complicated by acute ileocecal intussusception, treated with en bloc resection without reduction. |
