RESUMEN
Gastrointestinal lipomas are benign subepithelial tumors arising from adipose tissue. Most colonic lipomas are clinically silent and do not require intervention. However, if the lipomas are large or symptomatic, removal can be considered. Of the endoscopic techniques available, endoscopic ligation, also known as "loop-and-let-go," provides a safe and easy alternative to other endoscopic therapies and does not require any specialized equipment or advanced training. We describe a case of a patient found to have large colonic lipoma that recurred after endoscopic unroofing but was successfully treated with "loop-and-let-go."
