Abstract
We report on a case of ileal lipoma that prolapsed into the ascending colon and was resected by laparoscopy-assisted surgery. A 31-year-old male Japanese patient was admitted to our hospital because of hematochezia and anemia. Colonoscopy revealed a pedunculated polyp arising from the ileum. The surface was covered with slightly edematous mucosa. Abdominal computed tomography showed a low-density mass in the ascending colon. A diagnosis of pedunculated ileal lipoma with intussusception was made, and laparoscopy-assisted surgery was performed. The intussusception was reducted by resection of the lipoma. The surgical specimen was a 40 X 30 X 25 mm round tumor with a long stalk 11 cm in length. Microscopic examination of the specimen revealed ileal lipoma. Laparoscopic surgery is recommended for benign tumors of the small intestine because it is minimally invasive.
