Lipomas of the right colon: report on six cases.
We report six cases of lipomas of the right colon, of which one was affected by two lesions. Two cases presented with episodes of partial occlusion; the others did not present with particular symptoms. The diagnoses were based on imaging by computed tomography, which demonstrated an intraluminal formation of fatty density, not associated with tissual components or hypervascularization.
