Abstract
Lipomas in the colon usually present as sessile polypoid masses, rarely pedunculated, with variable dimensions. They are generally asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally although occasionally they may debut with symptoms. We present the case of a 48-year-old male with intestinal obstruction secondary to colonic lipoma causing invagination at the level of the transverse colon.
