[Colonic Lipomatosis: report of a case and review of the literature].

Abstract

Colonic lipomas are a rare entity, even lessfrequent colonic lipomatosis (lipohyperplasia) of which we only found very few reports in literature (five cases). We report a case of colonic lipomatosis in a young adult that manifested as acute diverticulitis with perforation and rectalpolyposis requiring surgical resolution.
