This is a classical case of colocolic intussusception secondary to underlying colonic tumour.
Surgical management confirmed colocolic intussusception with underlying mass lesion, which was histologically confirmed to be a moderately differentiated mucinous adenocarcinoma invading the visceral peritoneum.
