Abstract: Intussusception is an uncommon event in adults, with different clinical presentations, which range from bowel obstruction symptoms to nonspecific abdominal pain. Can occur in the small or large bowel. In adults there is usually an underlying cause, usually benign or malignant neoplasms, being the latter the main cause of this disease in the colon. The diagnosis with CT is usually straightforward, with a very typical appearance. We report two cases of patients with bowel obstruction and diagnosis of intussusception caused by a lipoma and colon cancer respectively.
