A 74-year-old woman presented to our hospital with constipation. Colonoscopic examination revealed laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) in the ascending colon and transverse colon. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) was performed. Two days later, she complained of stomachache and fever. Laboratory examination showed increased levels of inflammatory markers. Abdominal computed tomography and endoscopic ultrasonography revealed that the mucosa of the transverse colon was edematous. Intussusception was thought to have formed. We treated this intussusception by surgery. The EMR clip and hematoma seemed to have caused intussusception.
We report this case of colonic intussusception that occurred after EMR and was treated with surgical therapy.
