Adult intussusception is relatively rare, with only 5% to 16% of intussusceptions occurring in adults. The authors report a case of colocolic intussusception caused by an adenocarcinoma of the ascending colon in a 20-year-old female. The mass and the intussusception were diagnosed with sonography and abdominal computerized tomography. The patient went on to surgery, where the sonographic findings were confirmed. The patient was treated with hemicolectomy and adjuvant therapy.

Key Words: colon cancer • sonography • adult intussusception • abdominal CT
