title: A case report of an endoscopically removed colonic lipoma.
abstract: Management of colonic lipomas is still debated due to rarity and lack of long term data primarily. We report a case of colonic lipoma removed endoscopically with synchronous polypectomy. This report discusses the various aspects to consider how to manage this neoplasia. Conventionally, lipomas greater than 2 cm are removed surgically. However, in selected cases, skilled endoscopists may remove larger colonic lipomas safely.
