Abstract
AbstractWith the advancement in endoscopic procedures, lipomas of the terminal ileum can be treated with techniques such as snare polypectomy, endoscopic unroofing, and endoscopic submucosal dissection. A case of successful removal of an ileal lipoma causing repetitive ileocolic intussusceptions through the ileocecal valve using endoscopic snare polypectomy by cap-assisted colonoscopy was recently reported. We report a case of successful colonoscopic polypectomy of a giant (3.0 cm × 3.0 cm × 1.0 cm) ileal lipoma causing recurrent subacute intestinal obstruction. After careful review of literature, this was the first case where polypectomy of a lipoma of this size was successfully attempted.
