ABSTRACT
Lipomas of the colon are uncommon but cause diagnostic difficulty when they are symptomatic. The clinical and pathological features of 17 cases of colonic lipomas diagnosed at the University Hospital of the West Indies between 1970 and 1999 are reported. Ten cases were symptomatic, two of these being diagnosed with adult intussusception. Six patients had incidental lipomas in bowel resected for other patholgoy while one lipomas was diagnosed an sigmoidoscopy. Increased awareness of these lesions will enhanced pre-operative diagnostic accuracy.(Au)
