title: Laparoscopic management of intussusception caused by colonic lipomata: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: We describe the case of a 57-year-old woman who presented with colocolic intussusception due to a lipoma. The lesion was removed by laparoscopic right hemicolectomy. Benign colorectal pathology, such as colonic lipoma, is ideally suited for laparoscopic treatment.
