Submucosa of the colon is a rare site for the formation of lipomas, which are usually asymptomatic. A 57 year-old male presented with 25 days-long history of abdominal pain. CT scan showed colo-colonic intussusception. The intussuscepted segment was resected. On histopathology, diagnosis of submucosal lipoma of colon was given. Colonic lipomas often pose a diagnostic challenge. A definitive diagnosis of colonic lipoma is often obtained from histopathological examination of the resected specimen.

Small intestinal submucosal lipoma: a rare cause of secondary intussusception in a child

et al. 2021

Background Intestinal lipomas are benign, non-epithelial, intestinal tumors with an exceptionally rare localization at the ileum. Lipomas in the small intestine occur mainly in elderly patients and seldom occur in childhood. They are frequently asymptomatic, possibly due to their slow growth. These tumors may act as a lead point of intussusception. Case presentation We report a rare case of double compounded ileo-ileal intussusception due to a submucosal intestinal lipoma in an 8-year-old female. To our knowledge, this is only the seventh pediatric case to be reported in the medical literature. Conclusions Small intestinal submucosal lipoma should be considered in case of intussusception in pediatric patients. Surgical resection seems sufficient in case of symptomatic intestinal lipoma with low morbidity.

Gastrointestinal tract is uncommon location for lipomas. If present, 90% are seen submucosally and 10% in subserosal location. Mostly located in the colon, but they can be found in the esophagus, small intestine, and rarely in the stomach. The vast majority of cases with intestinal lipomatosis are usually asymptomatic and some of the cases present with intermittent obstruction, colonic perforation and rarely intussusception. Case Report: A 20 year male presented in emergency department with history pain in abdomen 15 days back, progressively increasing in intensity and no passage of stool from 4 days. On the basis of history, examination and computed tomography scan of abdomen, possible diagnosis of ileoileal intussusception was made. Patient was admitted in emergency department of surgery and planned for surgery and exploratory laparotomy with resection of ileum 5 cm on both sides was done. A growth was seen in ileal intussusceptum area within 5cm margin and sent for histopathological examination to the department of pathology. On histopathologic examination, a diagnosis of lipoma was made. Conclusion: Lipomas are benign tumours with no risk of recurrence. They should always be kept in the differential diagnosis of sessile polypoid lesions. Surgery is usually curative.
