Abstract
A 56-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of periumbilicalgia and palpable mass at the right lower quadrant. X-ray studied of the colon demonstrated a filling defect at the ileocecal valve area. Flexible fiberoptic colonoscopy revealed the tumor as a sessile, semispherical polypoid lesion with normal colonic mucosa. Surgical findings revealed that the tumor existed in the ileocecal resion and partial ileostomy with end to end anastomosis was carried out. This tumor was a pedunculated and which was located in the submucosal space of the colon. The cut surface was homogenous and yellowish, measering 5.0 × 4.5 × 4.0 cm. Histological findings showed the submucosal lipoma of the ileocecal valve.
