Intestinal intussusception is a rare entity in which a segment of intestine (intussusceptum), contracted by a peristaltic wave, enters the immediately distal segment (intussuscipiens). Once trapped, the invaginated segment is propelled distally by peristalsis, dragging its mesentery behind it. Next, we present the case of a 41-year-old female patient who presented an intestinal intussusception, with clinical manifestations of an intestinal obstruction and underwent an exploratory laparotomy, where the diagnosis was made and a moderately adenocarcinoma-type colon lesion was resected. Differentiated, in the city of Barranquilla in 2016.
