[Cecum-colon invagination due to cecal adenocarcinoma. Apropos of two cases].
The Authors report in an elderly patient a ceco-colic intussusception caused by carcinoma of the cecum, and evaluate etiology and pathogenesis, the most frequently affected anatomical sites, and the various clinical manifestations of the disease. Regarding the latter, the Authors emphasize chronicity of the suboccf1p4ve status in the adult patient vs. the clinical picture of intussusception in the paediatric one. Hemicolectomy represents the most common therapeutic approach, especially when intussusception is irreducible or with the evidence of severe colonic ischemia.
