title: Lipomatous Polyp Presenting With Intestinal Intussusception in Adults: Report of Four Cases.
abstract: Intussusception is a relatively common cause of intestinal obstruction in children but a rare, and uncommon clinical entity in adults accounting for 1%. Lipoma accounts for 4% of all benign tumors of the gut. Most of these are seen in the large intestine, usually submucosal and around ileocecal valve. These are often asymptomatic. Though these lesions are benign, it continues to present difficulties in the preoperative differentiation between malignant and benign colonic neoplasm.
