Laparoscopic removal of a large colonic lipoma. Report of a case

T J Saclarides et al. Dis Colon Rectum. 1991 Nov.

Abstract

A 72-year-old white male was found to have a 6-cm submucosal mass at 35 cm on screening sigmoidoscopy. The lesion had all the characteristics of a submucosal lipoma. Instead of performing a laparotomy with its potential morbidity, the lesion was removed laparoscopically in its entirety without untoward operative sequelae. Laparoscopic techniques have had a profound impact on the treatment of patients with surgical disorders. This new technology can be applied to selected patients with colorectal diseases.
