%X In this case report, we detail the management of a woman in her late 30s with ileocolic intussusception, emphasizing the high malignancy risk inherent in adult intussusception cases. Given the patient's acute symptoms and significant family history of ovarian and breast cancers, radical oncological resection was pursued. The surgical intervention comprised a right hemicolectomy and right ovarian cystectomy, with histopathological findings revealing a Peutz-Jeghers polyp and benign thyroid tissue, but no malignancy. This case underscores the imperative for a surgical approach that anticipates the potential for malignancy in adult intussusception, advocating for radical resection as a fundamental strategy, even in the absence of confirmed malignant histopathology, to ensure comprehensive management and alignment with oncological best practices.
