Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Lipomas localized in the Bauhin’s valve area can reach large sizes and be accompanied by such clinical symptoms as abdominal pain, intestinal obstruction, bleeding. We present a case of a 63-year-old female patient with pain syndrome in the right iliac region, in whom a large lipoma of the ascending colon was detected during an outpatient examination. After additional examination, endoscopic removal of a giant lipoma originating from the lower lip of the Bauhin’s valve was performed in our clinic using endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) with a good result. A special feature of this case was the possibility of endoscopic removal of a large-sized tumor due to a balanced approach, consistency of decision-making, and effective use of gravity when changing the patient’s body position during surgery.
