Abstract
We report a 63-year-old man who presented with a history of intermitte nt vague abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss. Colonofibroscopic examination disclosed an ileocolic intussusception with a polypoid tum or on the leading edge of the intussusception. Both double contrast ba rium enema and computerized tomography of the abdomen confirmed this f inding. The excised specimen had an ulcerated ileal lipoma with enteri tis cystica profunda on the overlying epithelium.
