The case involved a 64-year-old woman referred to our department with a chief complaint of uncomfortable feeling in the right lower quadrant. Abdominal CT examination showed a mass-like lesion with a laminated appearance in the ileocecal area. Barium enema findings include a filling defect, size 2×1cm, and a sharply marginated mass within the cecum with no visible appendix. At colonoscopy, a steeply rising and subpedunculated mass with smooth surface was noted in the cecum. These examination findings diagnosed the patient with appendiceal intussusception and laparoscopic appendectomy involving removal of part of the cecal wall was subsequently carried out. In the excised specimen, the appendix protruded and inverted into the cecum.
We experienced a case of appendiceal intussusception, a rare disease found in the ileocecal area, and here report it.
