Abstract
Despite the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer in patients over the age of 50 years decreasing, in patients under the age of 50 it is increasing. Here we report a rare case of colocolic intussusception in a young adult male that allowed early diagnosis and treatment of colorectal adenocarcinoma.
