Endoscopy revealed grossly normal mucosa in the descending colon with a congested polypoid mass in the proximal transverse colon. Computed tomography revealed ileocecal intussusception at the hepatic flexure. A right hemicolectomy was performed, where a grossly dilated appendix was noted, resected and sent for histopathological evaluation. Results revealed low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm. Post-operatively, the patient remained symptom free, however required reintroduction of biologic therapy due to relapse of his ulcerative colitis 12\u00a0weeks later.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This case depicts a rare acute surgical presentation and reminds physicians and surgeons of the importance of \u2018thinking outside the box\u2019 in clinical practice.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s40792-020-01017-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,29]],"date-time":"2020-09-29T14:04:22Z","timestamp":1601388262000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Adult intussusception secondary to an appendiceal tumour in a patient with ulcerative colitis: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9892-9920","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M.
