ABSTRACT
Lipomas of the small intestine are usually found incidentally; symptoms occur in less than one-third of affected patients, especially when lipomas are more than 2 cm in size. We report a 32-year-old man in whom intestinal lipomatosis resulted in colo-colic intussusception. These symptoms disappeared following operative resection of about 60 cm of ileum and ascending colon.
