Adult intussusception is rare, often presenting with atypical symptoms. This case highlights ileal intussusception on a cecal tumor in an elderly female, emphasizing diagnostic challenges and surgical confirmation.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Intussusception is uncommon in adults, differing significantly from pediatric cases.
  • Atypical presentations and diagnostic difficulties are characteristic of adult intussusception.

Observation:

  • An 85-year-old female presented with chronic, vague abdominal pain and diarrhea.
  • Physical examination revealed a palpable mobile mass in the right iliac fossa.
  • Imaging studies, including barium transit and CT scan, suggested an ileal intussusception secondary to a cecal tumor, showing a characteristic 'target mass'.

Findings:

  • Laparotomy confirmed ileal intussusception originating from a cecal tumor.
  • The case illustrates a rare etiology of adult intussusception.

Implications:
