COLON LIPOMA


The diagnosis is easy when you have the surgical specimen.


This was more difficult, but the endoscopy was more clear. The red square indicates submucosal fatty tissue

This is pseudolipomatosis (it is air  trapped in mucosa)  but  it can confuse  with lipoma
HISTOLOGICAL FINDINGS OF LIPOMA
1.- Rounded submucosal mass of mature adipose tissue
