INTRODUCTION Colo-colic intussusception is extremely rare in adults and few cases have been described secondary to a lypomatous polyp. CASE REPORT We present the case of a 50-year old man with chronic abdominal pain who was diagnosed a colo-colic intussusception secondary to a lipoma of the left colon. The patient underwent laparoscopic resection of the splenic flexure without reduction, whic...

Introduction: Intussusception in adult is an uncommon clinical entity. An intussusception involving left sided colon due to a benign tumor such as angiolipoma still more uncommon. Prompt pre-operative diagnosis using imaging technique helps in appropriate surgery. Case report: We present a 60years old patient who presented with features of intestinal obstruction who was evaluated with CECT and ...

Lipomas of the colon are relatively rare benign soft tissue tumors derived from mature adipocytes of mesenchymatic origin. During colonoscopy, surgery or autopsy they are generally discovered incidentally. Most cases are asymptomatic, with a small tumor size, and do not need any special treatment. However, in the cases with larger in size of tumor some symptoms such as anemia, abdominal pain, c...

A colonic intussusception caused by an intraluminal lipoma is a rare disease in adults, in whom it usually has a definite organic cause. In fact, it is either caused by a benign or a malignant condition, both of which occur at similar rates. However, little literature is available on laparoscopic procedures for use in cases of adult colonic intussusceptions. Recently, a 52-year-old woman was ad...

Background: Intussusception is a frequent cause of bowel obstruction in children but is rare in adults. In about 90% of cases, adult intussusception has identifiable cause acting as the lead point. A lipoma may develop as a benign tumor in any organ but rarely in large or small intestines. Intussusception due to a gastrointestinal lipoma constitutes an infrequent clinical entity. We present a c...
