Defined as the tunneling of one bowel segment into an adjacent bowel segment, intussusception is typically observed in pediatric populations. Here, we present the case of a 78-year-old man who, in a series of unlikely events, developed colonic intussusception due to a benign lead point pathology. Intussusception of the colon is an uncommon occurrence in adults. However, adult colonic intussusception, observed in the absence of a malignant lead point pathology, represents a true clinical anomaly.
肠套叠被定义为一个肠段套入相邻的肠段，通常见于儿科人群。在此，我们报告一例78岁男性患者，在一系列不太可能发生的情况下，因良性套叠起始点病变而发生结肠套叠。结肠套叠在成人中并不常见。然而，在没有恶性套叠起始点病变的情况下观察到的成人结肠套叠，是一种真正的临床异常情况。
