2018 
: A 93-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of respiratorydiscomfort. A chest CT scan indicated aspiration pneumonitis and, simultaneously, intussusception was observed in the splenic flexure region. Abdominal enhance CT scan revealed a tumor in the advanced region of intussusception. Laparoscopy-assisted ileocecal resection was performed. Since the intussusception was difficult to reduce laparoscopically, the ileocecum was mobilized and the intussusception was reduced manually. In the resected specimen, a type 1 tumor was observed in the cecum and histopathologic ally diagnosed as cercal cancer. We report a case with intussusception due to colorectal cancer treated bylaparoscopic surgery.
