Summary
Three rare examples of intussusception of the large bowel in the adult are reported. In one, the intussusception was caused by a primary lymphosarcoma of the cecum, in another by a lipoma of the ascending colon, and in the third by an adenocarcinoma arising in the pelvic colon of a patient with active chronic ulcerative colitis.
