title: [Submucosal lipomas of the colon].
abstract: Three cases of symptomatic colonic lipoma are presented. All were submucous. Clinical findings were abdominal pain, changes in intestinal rythm and rectorragia. All patients had an important loss of weight, a previously undescribed finding. Two patients had a colonic diverticulosis too. The diagnosis was made by means of radiology (barium enema) and surgery was performed in all cases with excellent results.
