Giant Colonic Lipomas: Diagnostic Accuracy, Case Series and A Review of the Literature by Akingboye AA in Current Trends in Gastroenterology and Hepatology in Lupine publishers Colonic lipomas (CL) are generally asymptomatic and are found incidentally during colonoscopy, colonography or surgery for other conditions. Symptoms often correlate with the size of the lipoma; lipomas larger than 4 cm in size become symptomatic in 75% of patients and they are described as Giant colonic lipoma (GCL). GCL may cause bleeding, obstruction, mimic large polyps, and can create a diagnostic dilemma. We review the clinical management of a series of four GCL patients. https://lupinepublishers.com/gastroenterology-hepatology-journal/fulltext/giant-colonic-lipomas-diagnostic-accuracy-case-series-and-a-review-of-the-literature.ID.000113.php https://lupinepublishers.com/gastroenterology-hepatology-journal/pdf/CTGH.MS.ID.000113.pdf https://lupinepublishers.com/gastroent...
