“…Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is a very effective modality for characterizing submucosal tumors because it identifies the layer of origin of the submucosal lesion. The five-layer structure of the colorectal wall seen on endoscopic ultrasonography corresponds to the histologic appearance [29]. Colonic lipomas appear as hyperechoic homogeneous masses arising from the third layer on endoscopic ultrasonography [30,31].…”

“…Colonic lipomas appear as hyperechoic homogeneous masses arising from the third layer on endoscopic ultrasonography [30,31]. This characteristic appearance can be used to differentiate lipomas from lymphangioma, smooth muscle tumors, and metastatic malignancies [29]. EUS can also be used as a tool to determine any extension into the muscularis propria before injection-assisted polypectomy of symptomatic lipomas [30].…”

HighlightsIleocecal lipomas present typically with intussusception.There are only few reported cases of ileocecal lipomas presenting as lower GI bleeding.Histopathological evaluation remains the gold standard in precise diagnosis.The treatment of colonic lipomas is debatable among specialists.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
