Abstract

A 62-year-o1d male was referred to our hospital because of positive Hemoccult test of stool. Barium enema and colonoscopy revealed a large yellowish and left, elevated lesionin the ascending colon. Lipoma was suspected. However, well differentiated adenocarcinoma was found in the fragments taken from a slightly granular area on the tap. Twenty cases of colonic liponma coexisting with cancer have, been deported in Japan. However, there were only two cases of intramucosal cancer located on the tap of the lipoma including our case. It is recommended to resect endoscopically a lipoma of the colon showing an increasing tendency in size.
