Abstract
In adult invagination, the leading point is usually an organic lesion. It is mostly a benign lesion in enteric, ileocolic and ileocaecal inv aginations, however in colocolic invaginations the leading point is of ten malign (1, 9). In our patient we diagnosed an ileocolic invaginati on due to a caecal tumour, evidenced by CT (Computerized tomography) a nd colonoscopy. Right hemicolectomy and ileotransversostomy were perfo rmed.
