Abstract
We report a case of intussusception caused by hemorrhagic infarction with cecal cancer. A 55-year-old woman admitted for continuous abdominal pain, diahrrea, and appetite loss was suspected in ultrasonography, computed tomography and barium enema examination of obstruction due to intussusception. Laparotomy showed that intussusception was caused by two cecal tumors and the cecum up to the hepatic flexure of the transverse colon was mobile, necessitating ileocecal resection with lymph node dissection. Histopathologically, the tumors involved cancer and hemorrhagic infarction. We surmised that repeated intussusception caused by cecum cancer formed a hemorrhagic infarction that completed the intussusception.
