title: Giant colonic lipoma presenting with intermittent intestinal obstruction.
abstract: Lipomas of gastrointestinal (GI) tract are the common benign tumours. They are usually small and asymptomatic; however, large colonic lipoma is a rare tumour and may cause intestinal obstruction. A similar rare case of large lipoma, treated with laparoscopic right hemicolectomy, is reported here.
