A case of intussusception secondary to multiple cystic lymphangioma of the colon

Abstract

We report a rare case of intussusception caused by multiple cystic lymphangioma of the ascending colon. A 17-year-old woman visited our hospital with abdominal pain. We diagnosed an intussusception at the ascending colon with abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography. After reducing the intussusception, we diagnosed multiple cystic submucosal tumors at the ascending colon by colonofiberscopy. When the patient was questioned in detail about her symptoms, she reported the same symptom that was observed a few months ago. The patient subsequently underwent right hemicolectomy. The final diagnosis was an intussusception with multiple cystic lymphangioma of the ascending colon, which was confirmed by histopathology.
