Its coexistence with colorectal cancer (CRC) in young patients presents unique diagnostic challenges as imaging may suggest separate lesions rather than a single malignancy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 21-year-old man presented with worsening right upper and central abdominal pain. The contrast-enhanced abdominal CT suggested that the intussusception at the ileocecal region might be caused by a lipoma and revealed a separate mass in the transverse colon. Emergency laparoscopic exploration and subsequent open laparotomy confirmed a 4.0-cm \u00d7 5.0-cm cauliflower-like adenocarcinoma originating from the ileocecal region, which had caused the intussusception and mimicked separate pathologies on imaging.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case highlights the diagnostic complexity of synchronous intestinal lesions in young patients. It underscores the need for a heightened suspicion of an underlying malignancy when encountering intussusception and emphasizes the limitations of imaging in accurately characterizing the complex pathology of the bowel.<\/jats:p>\n
