We report a case of intussusception in an adult secondary to ascending colon cancer. A 77-year-old woman with ascending colon cancer was admitted to our hospital for elective surgery. At admission, she was detected to have intussusception, which was easily reduced by the endoscopic approach. A day before the surgery, the patient complained of abdominal pain of sudden onset and vomiting. Abdominal computed tomography revealed multiple the “concentric ring sign” and diffuse mesenteric edema, indicating tumor-induced intussusception. Emergency surgery was performed. The surgical findings indicated tumor-induced intussusception of the ascending colon without intestinal ischemia or perforation；therefore, right hemicolectomy was performed. Her postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 17.
