Case Discussion
Colocolic intussusception due to pathology-proven colon adenocarcinoma.
Intussusception occurs when one segment of bowel is pulled into itself or a neighboring loop of the bowel by peristalsis. When occurring in the adult population, intussusception is usually caused by a focal lesion acting as a lead point.
