  • Title: Adult intussusception due to a malignant polyp: a case report.
    Author: Dener C, Bozoklu S, Bozoklu A, Ozdemir A.
    Journal: Am Surg; 2001 Apr; 67(4):351-3. PubMed ID: 11308002.
    Abstract:
    Intussusception is primarily a disease of childhood; only about 5 to 10 per cent of cases occur in adults. In contrast to childhood intussusception 90 per cent of adults have an associated pathologic process, usually a malignant lesion. Adult cases do not have the classical symptoms and diagnosis may be difficult. CT scan and barium studies are the most useful diagnostic methods. We report a very rare case of adult ileocecocolic intussusception caused by a pedunculated malignant polyp of the cecum and review the clinical features of intussusception.
