Résumé

Les lipomes coliques sont des tumeurs adipeuses bénignes et rares. Ils sont généralement de petite taille et asymptomatiques. Néanmoins, lorsqu’ils sont géants, ils peuvent être symptomatiques, voire compliqués. Nous rapportons deux observations de lipomes géants symptomatiques dont un compliqué d’une invagination colocolique. À partir de ces cas et d’une revue de la littérature, nous discutons les caractéristiques cliniques, diagnostiques et les modalités thérapeutiques de cette pathologie rare.

Abstract

Colonic lipomas are rare, benign, nonepithelial tumors. Most cases are asymptomatic with a small tumor size. However, they may be giant, symptomatic, or complicated. We report two cases of giant symptomatic colonic lipomas including a case of colocolic intussusception. Reviewing the literature, combined with our experience, we discuss the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of this uncommon disease.
