Angiolipomas are benign mesenchymal tumors that often occur under the skin of the upper extremity or thoracic and abdominal walls. Angiolipomas of the digestive tract are rare. Here, we describe a case of transverse colon angiolipoma with intussusception resected by laparoscopy-assisted surgery. A 50-year-old woman visited a family hospital with complaints of left lower abdominal pain and bloody stool. Colonoscopy revealed a submucosal tumor in her left colon. She was referred to our hospital for further examination. Computed tomography revealed a low-density tumor with intussusception in the left transverse colon. Elective surgery was planned for this patient because there were no alarming symptoms such as ileus or obstruction. Laparoscopy-assisted surgery and partial resection of the left transverse colon were performed. The histopathological diagnosis was angiolipoma of the colon. Angiolipomas are benign mesenchymal tumors that rarely occur in the digestive tract. Thus, accurate preoperative diagnosis is difficult.

“…Nissen et al . [ 33 ] reported an angiolipoma of the ascending colon with intussusception, in which elective robotic-assisted surgery was performed. Emergency operation for colon intussusception might not be necessary if patients do not have symptoms such as abdominal pain owing to obstruction or severe melena.…”

“…This tumor was first described by Bowen in 1912 [ 10 ]. The tumor is classified into lipomatous and angiomatous types according to the predominant histologic component [ 5 ]. In the present case, the ratio of vascular tissue and adipose tissue was almost similar.…”

The clinical presentation of right iliac fossa pain, anorexia, and vomiting are the classic clinical features of acute appendicitis. However, a broad spectrum of manifestations may result in a similar clinical picture, including gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and gynecologic pathologies. Imaging studies are crucial to establishing the diagnosis. Here, we report the case of a 58-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with a one-week history of right lower quadrant abdominal pain. The pain was associated with nausea, vomiting, and frequent bowel motions. There was no history of fever or weight loss. The examination of the abdomen showed localized tenderness and guarding in the right iliac fossa. The basic laboratory investigation was within the reference range. The computed tomography scan demonstrated a well-circumscribed intraluminal mass lesion in the ascending colon with no evidence of complete obstruction. The mass was slightly heterogeneous but had fat attenuation. There was no evidence of invasion. There was no stranding of the adjacent fat. The radiological findings were consistent with colonic lipoma. The patient underwent laparoscopic surgery and had a segmental resection of the tumor with primary anastomosis. The appendix was also resected. Histopathological examination showed mature adipose cells along with thin-walled, capillary-sized vessels representing a benign angiolipoma. Further, the resected appendix was completely normal and showed no evidence of acute inflammation. Colonic angiolipoma is an extremely rare tumor. This case demonstrated that a large angiolipoma of the ascending colon may show a presenting clinical picture similar to that of acute appendicitis. Complete resection of the tumor is associated with an excellent outcome.
