title: Colonic lipomas. Endoscopic and radiologic characteristics.
abstract: We present three cases of colonic lipomas; the first lipoma was removed endoscopically, the other two lesions were left in situ following recognition of their benign natures. We recommend that lesions of the colon recognized as lipomas and found incidentally be left alone.
