Case Discussion
Relatively subtle incidental colocolic intussusception involving the descending and sigmoid colon, with a small lipoma serving as the lead point. A CT from 5 years earlier confirms that the lipoma was from the distal descending colon.
The patient had epiploic appendagitis to account for the acute presentation of left lower quadrant pain.
