Mucosal Pseudolipomatosis of the Colon

Abstract: Twenty-four cases of a lesion characterized by unlined spaces in the colorectal lamina propria are presented. While lesions such as this have been reported previously as "lipomatosis" of the colon, histochemical and ultrastructural examination reveals that they are not, in fact, composed of adipocytes. It appears that they may be composed of gas trapped in the lamina propria. Because of their gross and microscopical similarity to fat, however, the term "pseudolipomatosis" is proposed.

“…The term "colonic pseudolipomatosis" was proposed by Snover et al (1) in 1985 and was defined as being microscopically similar to mucosal lipomatosis but not composed of adipocytes. The lesion has a low frequency in patients undergoing colonoscopy (2).…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] A nomenclatura da doença foi proposta em 1985 pelo aspecto similar com a infiltração gordurosa da parede cólica observada na lipomatose da mucosa intestinal. 1 Apresenta etiologia incerta acreditando-se que possa ocorrer em conseqüência à infiltração de ar na parede intestinal, a partir de solu-ções de continuidade na mucosa cólica ocasionadas por traumatismos durante a realização do procedimento endoscópico. 1,2,6,8 A enfermidade também ocorre no estômago e duodeno apresentando prevalência estimada de 0,02 a 1,7% dos exames endoscópicos.…”
