  ABSTRACT: Colonic intussusception on carcinoma is rare. We report the case of an ileo-coeco-colic invagination on carcinoma of the right colon that occurred in a 40-year-old patient. The clinical symptomatology had a tendency to tumoral pathology of the colon. The ultrasound performed revealed acute intussusception. During the operation, we found an ileoceco-colic intussusception. A right hemicolectomy was performed. Anatomopathological examination of the operative specimen confirmed the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma. Conclusion: Intussusception is uncommon in adults, and is often indicative of an organic barrier to colon. His symptomatology is not very specific. Ultrasound and abdominal computed tomography help in the diagnosis. Surgical excision followed by anatomopathological examination of the operative specimen allows the diagnosis to be made histologically.
