Ascending Colon Intussusception due to a Adenocarcinoma (1 of 6)
Case description
Ulcerated Adenocarcinoma of the ascending colon that was
removed laparoscopicaly found intraoperatory causing
colonic intussusception.
The vast majority of intussusceptions occur in children
under the age of 2 years. Intussusception in adults is
usually caused by a tumor; when the intussusception is
colonic, the underlying tumor is most often malignant. The
most common cause is a polypoid cecal carcinoma,
although other lesions such as a lipoma, lymphomatous
mass, or even a cecal endometrioma may be responsible.
