Abstract
AIM: to present clinical case of complicated cecal lipoma.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: patient K., 62 years old, with one and a half years with a diagnosis of ascending colon lipoma with bloating, abdominal pain, was hospitalized in the coloproctology unit in an emergency with a diagnosis of partial intestinal obstruction. When analyzing the data of RCT of OBP, there was a suspicion of intussusception of the right colon, and a decision was made on surgical treatment. Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy was done.
RESULTS: colon lipomas are benign tumors that are asymptomatic, are mostly random findings during video colonoscopy, and do not require treatment. But an increase in the size of the tumor can lead to the development of complications for which surgical treatment is used.
CONCLUSION: the authors present a clinical case of a 62-year — old female patient with cecal lipoma complicated by colon intussusception, which required surgical correction.
