Giant lipoma of descending colon diagnosed at CT: report of a case.

Colonic lipomas are rare benign lesions, detected accidentally. These are often asymptomatic, but large lipoma may produce symptoms as abdominal pain, nausea, weight loss, diarrhea, constipation, hemorrhage, and intussusception. Colonic lipomas are more often localized in the ascending colon: literature reports less than 20 symptomatic cases situated in the descending colon.
