Appendiceal intussusception, a rare condition, occurred in a 72-year-old woman due to colonic polyps. This case highlights the importance of considering this rare diagnosis in patients with similar presentations.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Appendiceal intussusception is an uncommon condition where the appendix telescopes into the cecum.
  • It is often associated with underlying lesions such as polyps or tumors.
  • This condition can mimic other gastrointestinal emergencies, posing diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 72-year-old female presented with symptoms suggestive of bowel obstruction.
  • Imaging revealed multiple colonic polyps and an appendix intussuscepted into a cecal polyp.
  • The patient underwent surgical intervention for the condition.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed appendiceal intussusception secondary to a colonic polyp.
  • The case highlights the rare but significant association between colonic polyps and appendiceal intussusception.

  • Literature review provided insights into classification and management strategies.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the need for high clinical suspicion for appendiceal intussusception in patients with colonic polyps.
    • Accurate preoperative diagnosis and appropriate surgical management are crucial for favorable outcomes.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis and optimal treatment of appendiceal intussusception is warranted.
