An Ulcerated Large Colic Lipoma Causing Rectorrhagia Treated With Endoscopic Loop-Assisted Resection.

Colonic lipomatous polyps are often an incidental finding during colonoscopy. Generally, these types of polyps can cause gastrointestinal bleeding when they are larger than 4 cm in size. Some case reports have documented the occurrence of overlying adenomatous formations in the apical portion, as well as ulcerated mucosa. There is currently no standardized endoscopic removal technique for their treatment. In this report, we present a case of a large and ulcerated lipoma causing rectorrhagia, which was successfully treated with endoscopic en-bloc resection and endoloop placement.
