title: Ileocecal intussusception of small-bowel lymphoma: diagnosis by colonoscopy.
abstract: Intussusception is rare in adults. There is little information on the role of colonoscopy in colonic intussusception. We report, to our knowledge, the first adult case of small-bowel lymphoma causing ileocecal intussusception in which the diagnosis was made by colonoscopy. Colonoscopy has a useful role in the diagnosis and management of ileocecal intussusception.
