Lipomas are the most common type of non-epithelial benign tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. This is a report of a case
of transverse colonic lipoma which presented with a misleading Gastroenteritis for which upper and lower endoscopies
were done for recurrent and persistent symptoms and revealed tumor-like mass in the transverse colon for which transverse
colectomy with primary anastamosis was done and histopathology came as the rare colonic lipoma. The gastrointestinal lipoma
is a relatively rare disease, and originates from the submucosa of the gastrointestinal tract and occurs the most frequently in
the cecum and ascending colon. One of the challenges in the management of colonic lipoma is to establish the diagnosis
preoperatively. Three diagnostic tools can bring arguments in favor of the diagnosis: colonoscopy, barium enema and CT.
