ABSTRACT
This report describes the case of a 56-year-old woman who presented at the emergency room with a 3-week history of severe, intermittent abdominal pain. A CT scan revealed colo-colic intussusception caused by a large, substenosing mass with predominant adipose density. Subsequent endoscopic examination with biopsy revealed a necrotic tissue covering the mass, without definitive histological characterization. A second biopsy led to the extremely rare diagnosis of colo-colic lipoma. While intussusception is rare in adults, it's important to consider it as a differential diagnosis, especially when presenting with abdominal pain and signs of bowel obstruction. Timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to prevent complications.
