Abstract

Colonic lipomas are benign tumors composed of mature adipocytes. Colonic lipomas most commonly involve the right colon near the ileocecal valve and are multiple only in 10-20% of cases. To our knowledge, our case report is the first to describe numerous colonic submucosal lipomas in patients with intestinal obstruction and right-sided colonic carcinoma.
