Primary sclerosing lipogranuloma of the rectum: CT findings.

ABSTRACT

Sclerosing lipogranuloma is a rare, benign disease which is a peculiar granulomatous reaction of fatty tissue. This disease affects multiple organs and the majority of cases are secondary to exogenous foreign bodies. The authors report a case of primary sclerosing lipogranuloma of the rectum mimicking a submucosal rectal tumour.
