Endoscopic Treatment of Intussusception From Massive Colonic Lipomas via Endoscopic Mucosal Resection: A Case Series

Although the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic resection of colonic lipomas has already been described, the ideal excisional technique continues to be debated. Notably, a majority of the proposed techniques focus on small, incidentally found lipomas. We report 3 patients with massive (≥8 cm) co...

Sumario:Although the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic resection of colonic lipomas has already been described, the ideal excisional technique continues to be debated. Notably, a majority of the proposed techniques focus on small, incidentally found lipomas. We report 3 patients with massive (≥8 cm) colonic lipomas presenting as intussusception that were successfully treated by piecemeal endoscopic mucosal resection. We propose endoscopic mucosal resection as the endoscopic treatment of choice and feasible alternative to surgery for the management of intussuscepting lipomas.
