MALIGNANT-LYMPHOMA IN THE ILEOCECAL REGION CAUSING INTUSSUSCEPTION

A 67-year-old female was admitted with diarrhea. Preoperatively, we di agnosed intussusception due to malignant lymphoma in the ileocecal reg ion by image and colonoscopic examinations. We resected the right hemi colon for the tumor, which was located mainly in the cecum, causing in tussusception. The stenotic terminal ileum free of the tumor was invag inated within the cecum with infiltrating tumor, thus showing the appe arance of an anthill. The growth of the tumor corresponded with Wood's constrictive type, in which intussusception rarely occurs.
