“…Colonoscopy can confirm the benign nature of the tumor when it is developing in submucosa or intraluminal [46]. This examination may be carried out before deciding on a possible endoscopic ablation [48]. In case of subserosal development or in case of giant form with clinical signs, surgery is performed rather than endoscopic ablation.…”

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.

“…Dessa cápsula partem septos da mesma natureza, que penetram na massa gordurosa, e a quantidade desses septos determina a consistência do lipoma 9 . Ao nível da válvula ileocecal é comum o encontro de rica infiltração gordurosa na submucosa, não revestida por cápsula fibrosa, e os autores discordam em aceitar tais achados como verdadeiros lipomas 9,19 . Por esta razão, deixamos de incluir em nossa casuística doentes com tais formações.…”

“…Situam-se, preferencialmente, no cólon direito (40,0 a 68,8%), parecendo ser o ceco seu local de eleição; sua incidência decresce paulatinamente nos segmentos distais 8,12,19 . Dos 278 casos revisados por D'Javid, 44% localizavam-se entre a válvula ileocecal e a porção distal do ascendente, antes da flexura hepática, 21,5% no transverso e 34,5% no segmento mais distal, incluindo o reto 20 .…”

“…Endoscopically, lipomas are characteristically smooth, yellowish, round or hemispherical tumors with either a pedunculated or wide base. Additionally, the "cushion sign" and "naked fat sign" are specific endoscopic characters (10,11 …”
