was a solid lesion measuring approximately 5×6 cm, well-demarcated
smooth mass involving the cecum, approximately 2 cm proximal to
ileocolic junction (Fig: 3 and 4) . There was no evidence of
ascites, no mesenteric lymphadenopathy and liver surface appeared
normal. Lead point of ileocolic intussusception was the mass and right
sided standard hemicolectomy performed. On cut surface, the lesion had
diffuse grey to yellowish appearance. The procedure completed without
