MOLINA MARTIN, A.A.; SANTIAGO CHINCHILLA, A.; VILCHEZ RABELO, A.  y  CULIANEZ CASAS, M.. Hallazgos radiológicos en ecografía y tomografía computada multidetector de 64 canales de una invaginación colo-cólica secundaria a lipoma. Rev. argent. radiol. [online]. 2014, vol.78, n.4, pp.223-226. ISSN 1852-9992.

Even though most of the intestinal lipomas are asymptomatic and are diagnosed by chance, sometimes may have symptoms such as bleeding or diarrhea, and less frequently obstruction or intussusception. Intussusception in adults is a rare condition, and usually has a chronic-subacute presentation, and diagnosis is difficult. CT is the main radiological imaging test for diagnosis. Only 20% of the colonic invaginations are colo-colic, and in most cases are secondary to carcinoma. Rarely are secondary to a benign cause, being the intussusception secondary to a lipoma the most frecuent.
