摘要
A four-month-old female baby was diagnosed to have an unreduced intussusception
after a barium enema. At laparotomy, the intussusception was already reduced, but a
large cecal tumor was found. Resection of the cecum was performed with an
uneventful postoperative course. The pathology revealed mucinous cystadenoma of
the cecum. Besides being a rare pathological entity arising from the cecum, this case
gives an important implication regarding the management of intussusception caused
by a pathologic lead point at the age when idiopathic intussusception is common.
