Abstract:
We present the case of a 63-year-old woman in whom the clinical and ultrasound imaging initially suspected the existence of colon neoplasia, which finally turned out to be an ileocolic invagination, with the prognostic change that this entails. The contribution of this article is to bring readers closer to clinical cases that, although infrequent, should be taken into account. In this way, it allows the reader to suspect it in clinical practice in patients who meet the clinical characteristics mentioned.
