Colic Adenocarcinoma Revealed by Ileo-Colic Intussusception

---

Résumé

Introduction: Intussusception is unusual in adults; it
accounts for 5% of intestinal occlusions at this age. It is
most often secondary to a benign or malignant organic
lesion.
Result: Through this observation, we report a case of colic
adenocarcinoma revealed by an ileo-colic intussusception
in a 40-year-old patient.
Conclusion: Intussusception is rare in adults and its
symptomatology is non-specific; this makes its clinical
diagnosis difficult. Thus, imagery holds a prominent place
in positive diagnosis.
