Abstract: Recent experience with 4 cases of adult intussusception is described with a review of the literature. Case 1: A 79-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of a right under abdominal pain and diarrhea. Barium enema, abdominal ultrasonography and CT indicated an intussusception at the ileocecal region. On laparotomy, intussusception extending to the ascending colon was noticed, and right hemicolectomy was carried out. The leading point was the ileum, which was 14cm oral side from the terminal ileum. There was no tumor in this area. Case 2: A 33-year-old woman had an ileocecal intussusce-ption due to a cecal malignant lymphoma, and underwent right hemicolectomy. Case 3: A 52-year-old man had a colonic intussusception due to a cancer of the ascending colon, and underwent right hemicolectomy. Case 4: A 63-year-old man had a colonic intussusception due to a rectal cancer, and underwent low anterior resection.
