摘      要：Colonic lipomas are submucosal nonepithelial tumors covered by intact or eroded mucosa. In rare cases, alterations in the mucosa covering a lipoma include hyperplasia, adenoma, atrophy, ulceration, and necrosis. Here, we report a case of a colonic lipoma covered by hyperplastic epithelium in a 68-year-old woman. Based on the colonoscopy findings, a snare polypectomy was performed for a presumptive diagnosis of an epithelial lesion; however, the histological examination revealed a colonic submucosal lipoma with overlying hyperplastic epithelium.
