Intussusception of the appendix vermiformis is a rare condition.
It occurs mainly in infants and children. Here, we report an
intussusception case that occurred in a 65-year-old male presenting
with repeated periumbilical pain, nausea, vomiting and febrile
sensation. The appendix was seen to be intussuscepted at laparoscopy.
The invaginated segment was reducted and simple appendicectomy
was carried out. Histopathologic examination revealed a sessile
serrated adenoma at the wall of the appendix, suggesting it as the
cause of the intussusception.
