    Abstract:
    The lipoma of the colon is a rare benign tumour. The Authors describe two cases of colonic lipoma and stress diagnostic and therapeutic problems related to this condition. They also emphasize the importance of double contrast enema and colonoscopy associated to bioptic examination. The indication to lipomas removal is based on clinical remarks and differential diagnosis with adenomatous polyps. The modality of removal, where feasible for local conditions, should be preferably endoscopic.
