Colitis Cystca Profunda causing colo-colic intussusceptions in an adult
Abstract
A 62 years old male with colo-colic intussusception caused by colitis cystica profunda is reported. Patient was admitted with features of complete intestinal obstruction. Patient had the history of altered bowel habits and per rectal discharge of altered blood and mucous for six months. Contrast enhanced CT abdomen showed a transverse colonic mass with colocolic intussusception. With provisional diagnosis of carcinoma colon as a causative lesion, left radical hemicolectomy was performed. Intussuscepted segment had colitis cystic profunda histopathologically. The diagnosis of this entity is important as it can mimic mucin-secreting adenocarcinoma and therefore may result in radical surgical resection
