[Three adult intussusception cases with colorectal cancer; CT diagnosis and its characteristic findings].
We have experienced three adult intussusception cases with colorectal cancer. In all three cases CT studies were performed prior to administering a barium enema, where we could make the exact diagnosis of the lesions in both the plain and the contrast studies. In the CT studies, the intussusception lesions showed the characteristic eccentric layered pattern. It was difficult to distinguish the tumors from the edematous intestinal walls at the proceeding portion in two cases. While in one case, the proceeding portion (the tumor itself) was pointed out as the enhanced soft tissue density mass of layered pattern with the irregular margins.
