Abstract
Colonic lipomas are rare, but are the most common benign tumors except for adenomatous polyps.l Lipomas usually arise from the submucosa and range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters. There is a similarity between the clinical presentation of some lipomas and other tumors. If the lesion can be confirmed to be benign and if the diameter of the base of the tumor is less than that of the lesion, endoscopic polypectomy can be an effective management. We report endoscopic polypectomy of a large lipoma in the colon following endoscopic correction of an intussusception.
