“…The lesion did not have the "classic" endoscopic features of colonic lipomas ("tenting sign"-grasping the overlying mucosa, "cushion sign"-flattening and restoration of the shape of the lipoma, "naked fat sign"-extrusion of fat after biopsy of the colonic mucosa) rather mimicking endoscopically an adenomatous polyp. Colonoscopy is reliable for the diagnosis of a typical lipoma, but it may prove to be of no help when the lesion is atypical [3][4][5].…”

Lipomas of the colon are benign tumors that rarely occur. Their size ranges from 2 mm to several cm. They are usually asymptomatic but occasionally they present with clinical manifestations depending on tumor size, localization and complications, which often lead to diagnostic difficulty. A 40-year-old man presented with massive rectal haemorrhage. During colonoscopy a giant polyp of over 50 mm in its bigger diameter, with a thick stalk of 2 cm, located in the transverse colon, was revealed. Endoscopic resection was performed with success. Histologic examination demonstrated a giant lipoma. In this report discussion over endoscopic resection of colonic lipomas mimicking neoplasms is also performed.

“…These procedures vary according to the size, location, and possible complications of the lipoma [7,12]. Complications after this type of procedures are infrequent but include hemorrhage or perforation [2,8,11]. Chylous leakage is a rare complication and occurs after a surgical trauma of the lymphatic vessels [14].…”

“…It is the second most common benign tumor of the distant colon after adenomas [8,35], and it is estimated at 4% of all benign tumors of the colon [4]. The age of discovery is 50 to 70 years with a female predominance [44]. The cecum is the most frequent location site, followed by the right colon and the sigmoid [3,30].…”

Lipomas are the second most common benign, non-epithelial tumor of the gastrointestinal tract after leiomyoma. They can grow at all levels of digestive tract with a variable frequency. This involvement may be single or multiple in one or more segments. These lesions with a low development can rarely cause serious complications requiring prompt treatment. Therapeutic decision is guided by symptoms and tumor size. Conventional radiography with digestive opacification allows locating the tumor. On cross-sectional imaging, lipomas appear as homogeneous fatty tumors or rarely with internal fine septa. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging allow the final diagnosis of lipomas in its uncomplicated forms.
