Abstract

Colonic lipomas are the most common tumors of mesenchymal origin in the large intestine. These tumors are typically found in the colon, but are also discovered in the small bowel, stomach, and esophagus. Most gastrointestinal lipomas are asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally during endoscopy or surgery. Large lipomas can cause abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, obstruction, and intussusceptions and therefore require resection. Surgical resection is typically only considered for the removal of giant lipomas > 2 cm because of concerns regarding the high complication risk of endoscopic resection. New techniques that use endoscopic snare polypectomy with endoloops or endoscopic resection with an endoloop after an unroofing technique have recently been reported. We herein report a case of a 7-cm giant colonic lipoma that was removed by an endoscopic unroofing technique and repetitive endoloop ligation and strangulation.

대장 지방종은 대장에서 가장 흔한 간엽조직 종양으로, 소장, 위, 식도에서도 발생할 수 있다. 대부분의 경우 증상이 없어 치료가 필요하지 않고, 대장내시경이나 수술을 통해 우연히 발견되는 경우가 많지만, 크기가 큰 경우에는 복통, 출혈, 폐색, 장중첩 등과 같은 합병증을 동반할 수 있어 제거를 고려하여야 한다. 2 cm가 넘는 지방종의 경우, 내시경 절제시 합병증 발생률이 높기 때문에 수술적 제거가 권장되고 있으나 최근 내시경적 용종 절제술, unroofing 기법 및 박리성 올가미를 이용하여 단계적으로 지방종을 내시경적으로 제거한 예가 보고되었다. 저자들은 7 cm 크기의 거대 대장 지방종을 unroofing 기법과 박리성 올가미를 사용하여 반복적 교액을 통해 단계적으로 크기를 줄여 내시경적으로 제거한 1예를 경험하였기에 보고한다.
