Journal Title: International Journal Of Medical Science And Clinical Research Studies - Year 2023, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Lipomas of the large intestine are less frequently encountered with a frequency ranging from 0.2 to 4.4 %. Lipomas of the gastrointestinal tract are rare conditions first described by Baurer in 17571. We here describe a case of a 72-year-old female with complaints of colicky right abdominal pain for a 1-month duration. Contrast enhance CT imaging revealed a non-uniform wall thickness with irregular narrowing of lumen of intestine. She underwent right hemicolectomy in view of obstruction. Gross examinationrevealed a large polypoidal mass arising from the mucosa at the ileocaecal junction. Histopathological examination revealed it to be a submucosal lipoma
