title: [Submucosal lipomas of the cecum. A case report].
abstract: The paper reports a case of submucous lipoma of the cecum. The difficulty of clinical diagnosis is underlined on account of aspecific symptoms, and in fact it is uncommon for diagnosis to be made on the basis of X-rays. Colonoscopy, in particular using bioptic techniques, allows the nature of the lipoma to be diagnosed, and in addition may act as an excellent therapeutic instrument.
