[Multiple lipomas of the colon. Case report with clinical, roentgenologic, angiographic and histologic findings]

Case report on a 26 year old woman with multiple lipomas of the colon and rectum and a neurofibromatosis simultaneously. Description and discussion of clinical data and differential diagnosis. The vascularisation of the lipomas and of the overlying mucosa was proved to be good angiographically. This is the reason for the frequent bleeding of the lipomas of the colon. The coincidence of multiple lipomas and neurofibromatosis is rare. Therefore conclusions for a possible common etiology of the two diseases should be drawn only after further reports.
