Giant colonic lipomas can cause serious symptoms but are safely treatable with endoscopic resection, avoiding surgery. This minimally invasive approach effectively removes these benign tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Giant submucosal colon lipomas are rare but can present with severe symptoms like bleeding and obstruction.
  • Treatment options for these large lipomas are debated, with surgery often considered.

Observation:

  • A 67-year-old patient presented with symptoms of bowel obstruction due to a large sigmoid colon lesion.
  • Colonoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound identified a 10 cm submucosal lipoma.

Findings:

  • The large lipoma was successfully removed piecemeal using endoscopic resection without complications.
  • Histological examination confirmed the lesion as a typical lipoma.

Implications:

  • Endoscopic resection is a safe and effective alternative to surgery for giant colonic lipomas.
