ABSTRACT
Intussusception is a disease of childhood and almost always the etiology is
idiopathic. We report the case of an 85-year-old woman with ileocolic intus susception that was diagnosed by abdominal computed tomography. With
the symptoms of abdominal pain, distention, nausea and vomiting, she
subsequently underwent emergency right hemicolectomy. The final diag nosis was ileocolic intussusception due to lipoma, which was confirmed by
histopathology. In elderly, frequent diarrhea attacks, coliky pain and incom plete obstruction should be taken into consideration as a possible diagnosis
in this uncommon clinical condition.
