AbstractAbstract PDF
Intussusception involving the colon is unusual in adults and when present is managed with resection due to the risk of malignancy. We present an unusual case where the intussusceptum was impacted stool in a mucosal pouch in the transverse colon. The patient presented with bleeding per rectum and abdominal pain and was found to have a colocolic intussusception on computed tomography. Colonoscopy showed an ulcerated mass in the transverse colon. A laparoscopic right hemicolectomy was performed. Histopathology demonstrated known chronic lymphocytic leukemia, but not solid malignancy. A large fecalith impacted within a mucosal pouch had acted as the lead point. This represents a highly unusual but benign cause of intussusception.
