Physical examination showed diffuse abdominal tenderness. The results of the serum biochemistry tests were within normal limits. Plain film of the abdomen showed a few air-fluid levels.

Contrast-enhanced CT scan of the abdomen (Fig. 1) consisted of an axial image of the abdomen (A), a reformatted image in the coronal plane (B) and a reformatted image in the sagittal plane (C). The axial images as well as the coronal and sagittal multiplanar reformatted (MPR). MDCT scan images demonstrate a well-defined, sharply demarcated mass of fat density measuring 55 × 40 mm in size (thin arrow), and a bowel-within-bowel appearance in the ascending colon, known as target sign and suggesting intussusception more proximally (thick arrow)
