TLDR
Malignancy is associated with intussusception much more frequently than was appreciated in earlier literature and with this in mind, the treatment of choice for all types of int Mussusception in adults is resection without reduction whenever possible.Abstract:
Two important points should be remembered in treating intussusception in adults: 1. 1. Malignancy is associated with intussusception much more frequently than was appreciated in earlier literature. It was associated with 24 per cent of cases of enteric intussusception and 54 per cent of all colonic intussusception in this report. 2. 2. With this in mind, the treatment of choice for all types of intussusception in adults is resection without reduction whenever possible.read more

TL;DR: Primary intussusception is caused by organic lesions, such as inflammatory bowel disease, postoperative adhesions, Meckel's diverticulum, benign and malignant lesions, metastatic neoplasms or even iatrogenically, due to the presence of intestinal tubes, jejunostomy feeding tubes or after gastric surgery.

Recurrence in carcinoma of the colon and proximal rectum following resection for carcinoma
TL;DR: It is obvious that there is enough manipulation of the tumor during the resection to result in desquamation of numerous cancer cells from the primary lesion and the authors now know with the aid of the Papanicolaou stain that cancer cells desquamate profusely from ulcerating tumors.
