Abstract:
Lipomatous polyposis of the colon is a rare affection, with about 10 published cases. This affection is characterized by a great number of polyps which can reach several hundreds, of diffuse location on the entire length of the colon, with a higher density on the left colon and the sigmoid. The size of polyps varies from 1 to 10 cm. When they are voluminous, they can be cause of obstruction, ulceration or bleeding. We report a case of colonic lipomatous polyposis, associated with an ileocolic lipomatous, an ileocolic diverticulosis and adenomatous polyps in a 70-year-old man.
