Lesson Colonic lipomas are rare benign tumours that usually asymptomatic. However, giant colonic tend to be symptomatic and can occasionally result in intussusception intermittent obstruction. As adult is an uncommon occurrence, the identification of underlying aetiology essential due its high association with malignancy. Computed Tomography remains tool choice for diagnosis lipomas. Surgical e...

Colonic lipomas are uncommon, benign, submucosal adipose tumors that are usually asymptomatic. Large lipomas can cause symptoms such as constipation, abdominal pain, rectal bleeding and intussusception. We report the case of a 60-year-old man with a history of lower abdominal pain and pseudoobstructive symptoms. Colonoscopy revealed a large polypoid sessile lesion in the sigma. We used a standa...

BACKGROUND Symptomatic presentations of colonic lipomas are very rare in clinical practice, and may mimic colonic malignancy. The likelihood of presenting symptoms has been shown to depend on the size of the lesion. CASE PRESENTATION We describe the case of a 72-year-old Sinhalese man presenting with worsening mucoid diarrhea who was subsequently diagnosed to have a lipoma of the sigmoid colo...

Most colonic lipomas are asymptomatic and need no treatment, whereas lesions larger than 2 cm can cause acute abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, gastrointestinal bleeding, intussusception or bowel obstruction. Autoamputation of polypoid lesions in the gastrointestinal tract is indeed a rare phenomenon, and its precise mechanism remains unknown. It presumably occurs due to ischemic necrosi...

A 41-year-old man, was admitted in the emergency department due to repeated lower abdominal pain, constipation and hematochezia with one month of evolution. His past medical history was irrelevant. The physical examination and laboratory data were normal. The patient denied anorexia, weight loss and fever. A colonoscopy revealed an extensive mass with a regular mucosal surface with ischemia and...

Colonic lipomas are rare benign tumors infrequently met in clinical practice. Most of them are asymptomatic making frequent their fortuitous discovery. The therapeutic approach to the fortuitous discovery of a lipoma is even less clear. The treatment depends essentially on the clinical picture, on the size of the lipoma and on its location. We report the case of a 31-year old woman, which sub-o...

and ascending colon, are asymptomatic, and need no treatment. However, lesions exceeding 2 cm in diameter may produce symptoms [1,2]. We report successful endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-assisted resection of a large ulcerated rectal lipoma presenting hematochezia. A 53-year-old woman presented with a 3month historyof intermittent hematochezia. Colonoscopic examination revealed a soft, approximatel...

Abstract Colonic lipomas are benign tumours, most commonly in the right colon or caecum, usually detected incidentally at colonoscopy and often asymptomatic not requiring treatment. Lipomas leading to intussusception have previously been described case reports, but it remains a rare occurrence, no specific incidence data has documented. We present of patient with 7cm colonic lipoma that develop...
