Abstract

The incidence of intussusception is low in adults, particularly in the descending colon, due to the anatomical attachment of the descending colon to the retroperitoneum. Signet ring cell histology represents ~1% of colon adenocarcinomas and is associated with young patients and a poor clinical outcome. The present study describes a case of descending colo‑colonic intussusception caused by signet ring cell carcinoma in a 27‑year‑old male. The patient presented with a history of intermittent left upper‑quadrant abdominal pain for more than six months without any evident etiology. A computed tomography scan of the abdomen revealed left‑sided colo‑colonic intussusception. Upon laparotomy, a left hemicolectomy was performed according to intraoperative frozen‑section pathology. Post‑operative pathological evaluation revealed signet ring cell carcinoma invasion of the serosa, and 31.8% (7/22) of the regional lymph nodes were positive for cancerous cells. The post‑operative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on the tenth post‑operative day.
