• Asymptomatic

  Keywords: Colon lipoma, Case report, Review literature INTRODUCTION Colon lipoma is generally mildly symptomatic or asymptomatic. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The majority are asymptomatic but may cause abdominal pain, obstruction, or bleeding. The diagnosis can be made roentgenographically but is usually not made until operation is performed. [jamanetwork.com]

  Peer Review reports Background Colonic lipomas are rare mesenchymal tumors that are usually asymptomatic. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]

  Most cases are asymptomatic with a small tumor size. However, they may be giant, symptomatic, or complicated. We report two cases of giant symptomatic colonic lipomas including a case of colocolic intussusception. [link.springer.com]

  CASE REPORT An 83-year-old woman was admitted to the General Surgery Department of our hospital on January 2003 for intermittent mild anal pain. She denied any abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, hematochezia or melena. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Consequently, all advantages of vaginal hysterectomy (no abdominal scars, faster recovery, and less pain) and endoscopic surgery (more space and magnified vision) can be achieved in this form of surgery. [websurg.com]

  However, large lesions have been described to cause symptoms like abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, and even obstruction due to intussusception [1]. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]

• Rectal Bleeding

  The symptoms can vary with the location and the size of the tumor, and include abdominal pain, change in bowel habits, rectal bleeding, obstruction, perforation, intussusception, prolapse, and even massive hemorrhage. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]

  Both surgical and endoscopic resection of colonic lipomas show good outcomes with no known recurrence after complete removal.18 The key take-home message should be that while most colonic lipomas are small and asymptomatic, larger lesions may mimic polyps [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Pathologically, 54.5% of the intussusceptions had a tumor, of which 27.3% were malignant. 9.1% comprised nontumorous polyps. Four intussusceptions had a gastrojejunostomy with intestinal intubation, and four intussusceptions had no organic lesion. [scienceopen.com]

However, endoscopic treatment of large polyps (diameter exceeding 2cm) remains questionable. It is admitted that there is a serious risk of colorectal carcinoma inside these large lesions, which could well require surgical intervention. [websurg.com]
