Ileocecal intussusception of small-bowel lymphoma: diagnosis by colonoscopy.
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.
