Published: June 2019

Colonic lipomas are uncommon and usually asymptomatic tumors. A 30-year-old woman with abdominal pain lasting 10 days was admitted to the surgical clinic. Her physical examination revealed sensitivity on the right upper quadrant and her bowel sounds were normal. A lesion and invagination findings in the colon were found in the ultrasound examination and CT was performed. CT scan revealed a lipoma and invagination in the colon and the patient has undergone surgery. Pathological diagnosis of the lesion was reported as submucosallipoma. In this case report, we present clinical and radiological findings of a submucosal colonic lipoma causing intussusception.

Article Synopsis
  • Adult intussusception (AI) is a rare condition in patients over 18 that presents with various symptoms, often requiring surgical treatment, and is primarily diagnosed using CT scans.
  • A study of 26 cases revealed that the condition is more common in males with an average age of 53, where the most frequent symptom is abdominal pain; however, bleeding per rectum is notably linked to more severe, malignant causes.
  • Understanding the characteristics and predictive factors of AI can help in managing the condition effectively, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in treatment strategies.
