lipoma/diarrhea

BACKGROUND Symptomatic presentations of colonic lipomas are very rare in clinical practice, and may mimic colonic malignancy. The likelihood of presenting symptoms has been shown to depend on the size of the lesion. METHODS We describe the case of a 72-year-old Sinhalese man presenting with

A dog with a history of diarrhea and dyschezia exhibited an oval-shaped, soft-tissue opacity mass in the abdomen on radiographs. CT examination revealed a large fluid-filled structure displacing the urinary bladder, prostate, and colon. The mass had continuity with the prostate; therefore, it was

A 52-year-old female was referred because of melaena. After initital work-up, including gastroduodenoscopy, endosonography and CT scan, a duodenotomy was performed. Definite diagnosis was a duodenal lipoma based on histological findings. Lipomas of the gastrointestinal tract are rare. Only 4% occur

Lipomas are rare and benign colonic soft tissue lesions derived from mature adipocytes. Their poor clinical expression usually leads to a coincidental discovery during procedures like colonoscopy, imagery, surgery or autopsy. Due to their small size, a simple observation would usually be

BACKGROUND Gluten enteropathy (celiac disease) is a chronic disease and presents as diarrhea, weight loss and anemia. METHODS A 35-year-old Caucasian man with gluten enteropathy, familial multiple lipomas and seborrheic keratosis was seen in our clinic. After confirmation of the diagnosis, he was

Lipoma of the colon is rare and may lead to intestinal obstruction. We have presented two cases of colonic lipoma. Both were elderly females, one presented with diarrhea and the other with sub-acute intestinal obstruction. After colonoscopy surgical removal was done. Histopathology revealed lipoma

We report a 63-year-old man who presented with a history of intermittent vague abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss. Colonofibroscopic examination disclosed an ileocolic intussusception with a polypoid tumor on the leading edge of the intussusception. Both double contrast barium enema and

Colonic lipomas are rare benign lesions, detected accidentally. These are often asymptomatic, but large lipoma may produce symptoms as abdominal pain, nausea, weight loss, diarrhea, constipation, hemorrhage, and intussusception. Colonic lipomas are more often localized in the ascending colon:

Lipomas of the colon are relatively rare benign soft tissue tumors derived from mature adipocytes of mesenchymatic origin. During colonoscopy, surgery or autopsy they are generally discovered incidentally. Most cases are asymptomatic, with a small tumor size, and do not need any special treatment.

Colonic lipomas are relatively uncommon clinical entity, although they are among the most common nonepithelial benign tumors of the colon. They may produce abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, hemorrhage, and intussusception. We report a case of a 56-year-old man who was suffering from abdominal

Colonic lipomas are often asymptomatic, but large lipomas may produce abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, hemorrhage, and intussusception. We report a young woman with a colonic lipoma who presented as an acute abdominal emergency with total colonic obstruction and severe pain associated with

Colonic lipomata are rare and mostly asymptomatic lesions; but as they become larger they may produce abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, hemorrhage, and intussusception. We report the case of a 75-year-old man who suffered from nonspecific recurrent abdominal pain in the left upper and lower

Intussusception is much more common in children than in adults. Unlike in children, intussusception in adults is associated with an identifiable etiology in 90 per cent of cases. Lipomas are the second most common benign tumors of the colon. Small lipomas are usually asymptomatic and are found

Lipoma and angiolipoma are common benign neoplasms that occur in the subcutaneous tissue and rarely in the gastrointestinal tract. These tumors are usually asymptomatic but may present with abdominal pain, bleeding and obstruction. We present a 53-years-old woman with abdominal discomfort for
