Intussuscepting Rectal Lipoma: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Abstract

Lipomas are the second most common benign colorectal neoplasm. Rectallipomas are rare compared to colonic lipomas, with less than 15 cases described. In contrast to colonic lipomas which are usually asymptomatic, most of the rectal lipomas are symptomatic. We present here our patient with symptomatic rectal Lipoma and review the limited data available in the current surgical literature.
