Endoscopically removed giant submucosal lipoma

Giant Submucosal Lipoma of Sigmoid Colon

  Lipomas of the gasterointestinal Tract are relatively uncommon in clinical practice. Most cases are asymptomatic with small tumor size and do not need any special treatment but the large ones are known to cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, obstruction, intussusceptions, and bleeding. The majority (90%) of these lesions are submucosal with predominantly right sided with a slight preponder...

Giant submucosal lipoma cause colo-colonic intussusception

BACKGROUND: Lipoma of the large intestine is rare, with a reported incidence ranging between 0.2% and 4.4%. We present a case of a giant colonic lipoma causing descending-colonic intussusception. AIMS: A 54-year-old woman visited our emergency room with sudden onset of intermittent abdominal cramps. She was nauseous and had rectal blood loss for three days. Physical examination showed a tender ...

Endoscopically visualized features of gastric submucosal tumors on submucosal endoscopy.

Difficulties in the preoperative diagnosis of gastrointestinal submucosal tumors by endoscopic ultrasonography and errors of tissue sampling may make invasive surgery [1] or endoscopic resection [2] inappropriate for their removal. Better methods of diagnosing submucosal tumors are therefore needed. We have found that bloc biopsy and use of the submucosal endoscopy with a mucosal flap (SEMF) me...
