“…Concomitant presentation of colonic lipoma resulted in intussusception and dolichocolon is extremely rare. Adult intussusception is an uncommon condition caused by colonic lipoma which is found in 1%–5% of all cases presenting as bowel obstruction 9. A coexistent colon benign tumour may be considered as a predisposing factor for colonic intussusception, which is associated with redundant colon and chronic constipation.…”

Colonic intussusception caused by benign tumour in adults is uncommon condition. Lipoma as benign tumour arises from submucosal layer of gastrointestinal tract and derives from mature adypocytes. It is usually small asymptomatic lesion and reveals during colonoscopy, CT, surgery or autopsy accidentally. However, in cases with large size it may cause abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhoea, anaemia, bleeding or intussusceptions. We present a 52-year-old female patient with colonic intussusception caused by lipoma of the transverse colon and with congenital dolichocolon. The patient had several episodes of bowel obstructions which were treated conservatively. We performed elective open extended right hemicolectomy, ileotransversostomy end-to-end.

“…In adults, intussusception is managed less conservatively than in children. In fact, most children can be treated with either air, water or saline enemas [ 9 ]. But adult Intussusception occurring in the large bowel is more likely to have a malignant etiology representing up to 66% of the cases.…”

HighlightsIntestinal intussusception in adults is rare, accounting for approximately 1% of all bowel obstructions.Colo-colonic intussusception accounts for 17% of cases.The occurrence of large lipomatous masses as cause of intussusception and semi-obstructive symptoms remains rare.The case that we describe is particularly unique because apart from being an example of intussusception in adults, it occurred in the sigmoid colon and was not associated with a malignant lesion.
