Underlying malignancy is a concern when intussusception is diagnosed in adults and the elderly. Management includes oncological resection of the intussusception. We report a case of a 20-year-old female patient who presented with signs of bowel obstruction. Computed tomography demonstrated double intussusceptions (ileo-cecal and transverse colo-colonic). During laparotomy, the mid-transverse intussusception reduced spontaneously while the other did not. Both intussusceptions were managed with oncological resection. The final pathology showed a tubulovillous adenoma with high-grade dysplasia. As a result, intussusception in adults should be investigated thoroughly to exclude malignant potential.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
