N2  - Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) lipomas are rare, benign mesenchymal neoplasm affecting all segments of the GIT and colon is affected most frequently. Reported incidence of colonic lipomas varies from 0.2% to 4.4%. These tumors are believed to arise from the connective tissue of the wall of the intestine. We here describe a case of 60-year-old male who presented with features of intestinal obstruction. The patient underwent left hemicolectomy for a mass involving proximal descending colon. Diagnosis of colonic lipoma was made on histopathological examination.
