Rectal lipoma as a lead point for colo-colonic intussusception.

Intussusception in adults is a rare condition and most of the time there is a pathologic lesion that serves as a leading point. Unless highly suspicious, intussusception causing chronic abdominal pain and obstructive symptoms are rarely diagnosed before the surgery. In this study, we report a colo-colonic intussusception in a 73-year-old man with an intraluminal rectal lipoma as the leading point.
