title: [A case of giant colonic lipoma showing spontaneous resolution after endoscopic partial resection].
abstract: Generally, colon lipoma is mildly symptomatic or asymptomatic. However, sometimes it may present with symptoms, such as pain, constipation, obstruction, or bleeding and may be the leading point for intussusception, particularly in large size (>20 mm). Giant colon lipoma may warrant the removal to exclude confusion with other lesions that have a malignant potential and to control symptoms. Currently, surgical resection should be considered for giant lipoma more than 20 mm in diameter due to the high risk of perforation or bleeding, especially when the lesion is broadly-based. We report here a case of spontaneous resolution acquired after endoscopic partial resection for the symptomatic giant colon lipoma with broad-base requiring surgery.
