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 intussusception 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 diagnosis was ileocolic intussusception due to lipoma, which was confirmed by histopathology. In elderly, frequent diarrhea attacks, coliky pain and incomplete obstruction should be taken into consideration as a possible diagnosis in this uncommon clinical condition
Keywords : Intestinal obstruction, ileocolic intussusception, intestinal lipoma
