Colonic lipomas are rare benign tumors infrequently met in clinical practice. Most of them are asymptomatic making frequent their fortuitous discovery. The therapeutic approach to the fortuitous discovery of a lipoma is even less clear. The treatment depends essentially on the clinical picture, on the size of the lipoma and on its location. We report the case of a 31-year old woman, which sub-occlusive accidents events revealed a lipoma of the descending colon. The diagnosis was suspected on colonoscopy and segmental colectomy was performed. The diagnosis was confirmed by histological examination. We review the literature and discuss the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of this uncommon disease.
结肠脂肪瘤是临床实践中很少见的良性肿瘤。它们大多无症状，常偶然发现。对于偶然发现的脂肪瘤，其治疗方法更不明确。治疗主要取决于临床表现、脂肪瘤的大小及其位置。我们报告一例31岁女性病例，其亚闭塞性意外事件揭示了降结肠脂肪瘤。结肠镜检查时怀疑有诊断，遂行节段性结肠切除术。组织学检查证实了诊断。我们回顾了文献并讨论了这种罕见疾病的临床特征、诊断和治疗。
