Lipoma rectal que simula un prolapso rectal: Reporte de un caso y revisión de la literatura

Introduction: Rectal lipoma is an extremely rare benign neoplasm that can simulate rectal prolapse, accounting for only 3.4% of all colonic lipomas. Case report: We present the case of a 69-year-old female patient who consulted for an irreducible rectal prolapse, subsequently identified as an 8 x 8 cm multilobulated lipoma. Transanal surgical resection confirmed the diagnosis by histopathological analysis. Results: The patient had an adequate postoperative evolution, with no readmissions. Conclusions: Colorectal lipomas, especially in the rectum, are unusual and may present complications such as necrosis and hemorrhage, requiring an accurate differential diagnosis and timely surgical intervention.
