[Colonic lymphoma revealed by ileocecal intussusception in adults: about a case].

Intussusception is a very common condition in pediatrics, while in adults it is rare and accounts for only 10% of intussusceptions and 4% of intestinal occlusions. Colonic lymphoma revealed by intussusception is a very rare disease. We report the case of a 21-year old woman admitted with intestinal subocclusion to the Emergency Department at the Military Hospital Moulay Ismail, Meknes Morocco. Abdominal CT scan showed "sausage-shaped" mass as well as its organic cause in the colon. Surgical resection was the treatment of choice, followed by anatomo-pathological examination of the surgical specimen which showed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. After surgery, chemotherapy was indicated in order to improve the prognosis and to avoid a possible relapse.
