Abstract: Colonic intussusception in adults is an unusual pathology and accounts for less than 5% of bowel obstruction cases. In contrast to their paediatric counterparts, adult intussusception occurs with a pathological lead point in all cases and malignancy is the most common pathologic lead point in large bowel intussusception. This paper discusses a 50 - year - old man with sigmoid colon intussusception associated with adenocarcinoma and aims at focusing on the need to diagnose the condition early and the right surgical approach.
