Abstract

Colonic lipomas are relatively uncommon lesions. They have been documented as the source of massive low gastro-intestinal bleeding in only five previous reports in the English language literature. We report an extremely rare case of massive haemorrhage caused by an ascending colon submucosal lipoma and review the pathophysiology, diagnosis and management.
