“…Nevertheless, the discerned correlation between the symptomatic presentations and the enlarged size of lipomas accentuates the need for a tailored assessment and management approach for each patient, aligning the treatment to individual patient conditions and presentations. [16][17][18][19][20] This was achieved by incorporating a deeper understanding of patient demographics and clinical characteristics, where we acknowledge the significant role of gender and age in colon lipomas presentation and management. In our reflection on the broader demographic trends, our findings are consistent with literature demonstrating that colon lipomas are more prevalent in women, especially those within their sixth decade of life.…”

This retrospective study aims to examine the characteristics and treatment approaches of colon lipomas, which are benign tumors found in the colon. We analyzed a cohort of 25 patients, focusing on demographic characteristics, clinical presentation, location and size of the lipoma, concomitant pathologies, and treatment methods. The average age of the patients was 67.3 years, with 36% being male and 64% female. The majority of lipomas were located in the ascending colon (52%), and their median size was 2 cm. The predominant presenting symptom was constipation, affecting 83.3% of the symptomatic patients. Surgical resection was undertaken in only 1 patient due to obstruction. Statistically significant differences were observed between symptomatic and asymptomatic patients regarding various parameters, including the size of the lipoma (P = .033). Colon lipomas are generally benign and frequently asymptomatic but may necessitate different treatment approaches depending on their size, location, and the presence of symptoms. Further studies are imperative to refine treatment strategies and enhance patient care outcomes.

“…Rectal lipoma is even rarer, accounting for 3.4% of all colorectal lipomas in incidence rate. [ 4 ] The etiology and pathogenesis of colorectal lipoma have not yet been elucidated, and some literature suggests that it may be related to systemic fat metabolism, intestinal fat metabolism disorders, and intestinal malnutrition. [ 5 ] The clinical symptoms of colorectal lipoma are related to the size, location, and morphology of the tumor.…”

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.

“…Los lipomas se encuentran en todo el tracto gastrointestinal, aunque se observan principalmente en el colon. Los lipomas colónicos (LC) son tumores no epiteliales mesenquimales, benignos, que evolucionan a partir del tejido conectivo adiposo (1). Los LC se encuentran en el 0,2-4,4% de las autopsias (1,2).…”

Lipomas are found throughout the gastrointestinal tract, although 65-75% are in the colon. Colonic lipomas are benign, non-epithelial fatty neoplasms with an incidence of 0,2% to 4,4%; however, it is the third most common benign tumor of the colon. Most are asymptomatic and do not require treatment. Occasionally, they present complications such as intestinal obstruction, intussusception, or hemorrhage requiring surgical resolution; in these cases, the differentiation from a malignant tumor is very difficult, and the final diagnosis is confirmed by pathological anatomy. This publication aims to present a case of intestinal obstruction secondary to colonic lipoma, where resection of the affected segment was performed, with the diagnosis of colonic lipoma being subsequently confirmed by histology.
