ALVAREZ-BAUTISTA, Francisco E. et al. Colonic lipomas an uncommon cause of intussusception in adult patients: report of three cases and literature review. Cir. cir. [online]. 2021, vol.89, suppl.2, pp.9-12.  Epub 14-Feb-2022. ISSN 2444-054X.  https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.21000047.

Colonic lipomas are infrequent, benign, non-epithelial, fatty neoplasms. Most of the colonic lipomas are asymptomatic, but around 25% of patients may develop symptoms. Nowadays, surgical resection of the involved segment is the treatment of choice. We report three cases of colonic intussusceptions caused by colonic lipomas in adult patients. The patients underwent surgical resection, and the diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination of the specimens.
