Diminutive Colon polyp Coexisting with a Large Lipoma: An Endoscopic 'Rarity'

Abstract

Lipomas are the most common nonepithelial tumours of the gastrointestinal tract. In the colon, however, lipomas are uncommon. Herein we report the case of a patient who had a large colonic lipoma with an overlying bleeding diminutive colon polyp that was successfully resected using endoscopic electrocautery.
