Sizzling Fat —Curative Endoscopic Resection of a Giant Lipoma Causing Colo-Colic Intussusception

We report the case of a 78  years-old woman with abdominal pain, constipation, and bleeding due to a giant lipoma of the sigmoid colon causing intussusception. After an initial diagnostic colonoscopy, the patient underwent an endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) without complications. Even if surgery is traditionally the prima ry therapeutic approach for giant colonic lipomas, selected cases can be successfully treated with EMR.
