Abstract:
A case of ileocaecocolic intussusception caused by a caecum carcinoma is presented. The authors stress the peculiarity of clinical manifestation, without intestinal obstruction despite the presence of a big abdominal mass involving vessels and bowel, revealed by CT scanning and angiography. Endoscopy was not able to identify the nature of the lesion. Laparotomy performed with the idea to find a mesenchymal neoplasia, permitted to achieve the diagnosis.
