Summary The current hypothesis proposed for strangulation of small intestine by a pedunculated lipoma in horses involves movement the around until it loops through its own pedicle.

tion of the proximal bowel into the distal segment, which produces a telescoping effect. Colonic intussusception occurs in fewer than 5 % of the adult population and most patients have a pathological lead point [1]. Colonic lipomas are rela− tively rare and frequently asymptomatic. However, large lipomas are more likely to cause complications, such as abdomi− nal pain, lower gastrointestinal bl...

BACKGROUND Whitish intraluminal esophageal masses might represent the endoscopic feature of a bezoar or a pedunculated tumor, most likely a fibrovascular polyp, without exclusion of other mesenchymal tumors (leiomyoma, lipoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, leiomyosarcoma, granular cell tumor). If a process of dystrophic calcification is also encountered the differential diagnosis can be a cha...
