Abstract
Colonic lipoma is a benign neoplasm that can lead to colonic obstruction but concomitant intussusception is rare
in adults. In this case, colocolic intussusception due to a lipoma in descending colon occured. This was diagnosed
using laparatomy, and any intervention to reduce it failed. So resection of the colon with mass and anastomosis
were performed. After the surgery and 3 years of follow up, no complications were observed.We present
this case, and briefly review the literature of colonic intussusception in adults
