          Abstract

          Rationale:

          Colonic lipomas are uncommon benign submucosal adipose tumors that are usually asymptomatic. In principle, large lipomas can cause symptoms that require further treatment. Here, we report a case of prolapsed giant rectal lipoma and transanal mass resection.

          Patient concerns:

          A 65-year-old male developed rectal mass prolapse with bloody stool for 1 day.

          Diagnoses:

          The pathological findings were rectal lipoma.

          Intervention:

          After resection of the anal tumor, the patient postoperative symptoms quickly disappeared.

          Outcomes:

          No recurrence of the condition was observed after 6 months of follow-up after surgery.

          Lessons:

          It is safe and feasible for us to perform transanal mass resection for giant rectal lipomas that protrude outside the anus.

          Intussusception related to transverse colonic lipoma: a case report and review of the literature

          Lipomas are rare and benign colonic soft tissue lesions derived from mature adipocytes. Their poor clinical expression usually leads to a coincidental discovery during procedures like colonoscopy, imagery, surgery or autopsy. Due to their small size, a simple observation would usually be recommended. However, colonic lipomas (CLs) with clinical symptoms or signs including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anaemia or even intussusception would need invasive treatment. It is recommended to perform surgery to treat CLs that are >2 cm. Endoscopic procedures could be an interesting alternative for the future but would still require further investigation. We report the case of a 30-year-old patient with transverse CLs leading to obstruction of the descending colon by intussusception and continue by presenting a review of the current literature.

            Splenic flexure colonic lipoma causing intussusception

            Lesson Colonic lipomas are rare benign tumours that are usually asymptomatic. However, giant colonic lipomas tend to be symptomatic and can occasionally result in intussusception and intermittent colonic obstruction. As adult intussusception is an uncommon occurrence, the identification of the underlying aetiology is essential due to its high association with malignancy. Computed Tomography remains the tool of choice for the diagnosis of colonic lipomas. Surgical excision remains the mainstay treatment of giant symptomatic colonic lipomas. We hereby present the case of a 51-year-old male found to have a colonic lipoma causing recurrent intussusception. We discuss the approach, diagnostic tools and available treatment modalities for colonic lipomas. We also provide a brief literature review of intussusception in adults.

              Colonic lipomas revisited on CT colonography.

              CT colonography (CTC) is growing in its utilization as a nationally approved colorectal cancer screening test. After colonic polyps, lipomas are the second most common colonic lesions and their accurate and rapid recognition are important.
