Abstract
A 67-year-old female was admitted with diarrhea. Preoperatively, we diagnosed intussusception due to malignant lymphoma in the ileocecal region by image and colonoscopic examinations. We resected the right hemicolon for the tumor, which was located mainly in the cecum, causing intussusception. The stenotic terminal ileum free of the tumor was invaginated within the cecum with infiltrating tumor, thus showing the appearance of an anthill. The growth of the tumor corresponded with Wood's constrictive type, in which intussusception rarely occurs.
