A series of 22 cases of lipomas of the colon is presented. Fourteen patients had small (mean size, 12.5 mm), asymptomatic colon lipomas which were diagnosed incidently. In four of these patients, more than one lipoma was found. Eight patients had one larger (mean size, 70.5 mm) symptomatic lipoma. The symptomatic patients were older (mean age, 64.3 years) than the asymptomatic patients (mean age, 54.7 years). While small lipomas do not generally give symptoms, it seems that the symptoms of larger lipomas are mainly due to mechanical interference in colonic passage or ulceration of the mucosa that covers the lipoma.
本文报告了22例结肠脂肪瘤病例。14例患者患有小的（平均大小为12.5毫米）无症状结肠脂肪瘤，这些脂肪瘤是偶然发现的。其中4例患者发现不止一个脂肪瘤。8例患者有一个较大的（平均大小为70.5毫米）有症状的脂肪瘤。有症状的患者（平均年龄64.3岁）比无症状的患者（平均年龄54.7岁）年龄更大。虽然小脂肪瘤一般不会引起症状，但较大脂肪瘤的症状似乎主要是由于对结肠通道的机械性干扰或覆盖脂肪瘤的黏膜溃疡所致。
