“…From the 135 patients, 121 patients presented with a single diverticulum, 12 presented with a double GCD [6, 7, 22, 26, 29, 42, 44, 51, 61, 81, 84, 102], and 2 patients presented with multiple GCD [71, 93]. Most diverticula are found in the sigmoid 109/135 (81%).…”

Background: A rare complication of diverticulosis of the colon is giant colonic diverticula (GCD). The condition was first described in English literature in 1953 [1, 2]. Methods: A Medline search was undertaken for English, French and German language articles on ’giant colonic diverticula’. Results: A total of 135 patients were identified, presenting with a total of 155 GCD [1–98]. With a complication rate of 28% and an operative mortality of 5%, GCD seems to have a high clinical significance. Radiological examination of choice seems to be plain abdominal X-ray and CT examination, barium enema carries the risk of perforation of the diverticulum, and should not be performed. Conclusions: There are different therapeutic options, in our opinion diverticulectomy alone is not the treatment of choice. Because of the possibility of recurrence and oncological reasons, colectomy seems to be the best treatment. The creation of a protecting colostomy depends on other operative findings.

“…It is therefore more compelling to associate increased submucosal adiposis in our patient with his colonic diverticuli considering the established effect of same adipose tissues on tougher tissues like aponeurosis in abdominal wall hernias. Whilst colonic diverticulosis is commoner in older patients like our patient, Brouland et al reported a large colonic diverticulum in a young male arising due to colonic mural weakness by multiple colonic lipomatosis [19].…”

Background: Lipomas are benign adipose tissue tumours, very common in superficial locations. Deep-seated ones like those involving the gastrointestinal tract are uncommon and involvement of the anal canal is rare. We present an incidental finding of a submucosal lipoma of the anal canal in an elderly patient with colonic diverticulosis.Case Presentation: A 70-year-old man was referred for colonoscopy on account of recurrent passage of bloody stool of three months duration. There was no history of anal protrusion, anal pain/discomfort, change in bowel habit, tenesmus, melaena or abdominal pain. No history of fever or weight loss and he had no comorbid illness. He was pale on examination, otherwise other aspects of his general and systemic examinations were normal. At colonoscopy, he had multiple diverticuli in the caecum, ascending colon and descending colon with a sessile polyp in the descending colon. There was a yellowish, oval submucosal sessile mass with a lobulated surface, about 3cm from the anal verge and an increased yellowish hue to the large bowel submucosa in the anal canal and at the sites of diverticula. The anal submucosal mass was biopsied. Conclusion:Lipomas of the anal canal are rare. Although an incidental endoscopic finding in this report, coexistence of large bowel lipomas with increased submucosal adiposis colonic diverticuli may suggest an aetiological role of such lipomas in colonic diverticulosis.of the GIT is the colon, with the highest incidence at the cecum,

“…In man, lipomatosis of the intestine causing an intestinal obstruction is extremely rare and of unknown aetiology (Catania et al 1995;Shenoy et al 2003). These infiltrative lesions usually occur in the small intestine or colon and may be associated with diverticulosis (Brouland et al 2000). Submucosal lipohyperplasia of the ileocaecal valve, although rarely encountered clinically in man, is a reasonably common autopsy finding, where even marked lipohyperplasia has remained subclinical (Tawfik and McGregor 1992).…”

Summary Lipomatosis is an uncommon cause of colic. This case report details the pre‐ and intraoperative findings of a 9‐year‐old gelding, presented with acute abdominal pain. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a massive fatty infiltrate involving an extensive portion of the base and mid‐body of the caecum. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of an infiltrative lipomatous lesion of the equine caecum.
