유경성 대장 지방종의 내시경 절제 1예 (증례)

초록

Colon lipoma is a relatively rare benign tumor. Symptoms appear when its diameter exceeds 3 cm. Abdominal pain, constipation, rectal bleeding, colon obstruction and intussusception are clinical manifestations of colon lipoma. The traditional treatment for large colon lipoma is surgical resection. Also, colon lipoma can be resected endoscopically. However, removal of lipomas 2 cm or greater in size have been associated with a higher risk of perforation. We report a case of 5.5 cm pedunculated ascending colon lipoma which were removed by endoscopical resection, in a 66-year-old male with right lower quadrant pain.
