Rationale:
Colonic lipomas are uncommon benign submucosal adipose tumors that are usually asymptomatic. In principle, large lipomas can cause symptoms that require further treatment. Here, we report a case of prolapsed giant rectal lipoma and transanal mass resection.
Patient Concerns:
A 65-year-old male developed rectal mass prolapse with bloody stool for 1 day.
Diagnoses:
The pathological findings were rectal lipoma.
Intervention:
After resection of the anal tumor, the patient postoperative symptoms quickly disappeared.
Outcomes:
No recurrence of the condition was observed after 6 months of follow-up after surgery.
Lessons:
It is safe and feasible for us to perform transanal mass resection for giant rectal lipomas that protrude outside the anus.
