Giant lipoma of sigmoid mesocolon: a rare case report

Lipoma is a benign soft tissue tumor and one of the most common types of mesenchymal neoplasms in adults. The most common type is the "superficial subcutaneous lipoma", which is just below the surface of the skin. They may be found anywhere in the body where fat is located such as intramuscular, retroperitoneal or gastrointestinal. In the GI tract their most common location is the colon, accounting for 60-75% of all GI lipomas, followed by the small intestine [20-25%]. Lipomas associated with mesentery are not very common and those associated with colonic mesentery are extremely rare and only few case reports are mentioned in the literature. We are reporting a rare case of giant mesenteric lipoma which was originating from sigmoid mesocolon and presented with an abdominal mass without intestinal obstruction. It was successfully removed, preserving the blood supply of sigmoid colon. Post-operative recovery of the patient was smooth and histopathology confirmed the benign nature of lipoma
