The colic intussusception on lipoma is rare. Herein, we report the case of ileocolic intussusception in the right colic lipoma occurred in a 42-years-old woman. The clinical and ultrasonographic aspects directed towards an urinary pathology. The occurrence of an occlusive syndrome and ileocolic intussusception detected by computerized tomographic (CT) scan are consistent with a right hemicolectomy. Furthermore, pathological investigation confirmed the diagnosis of lipoma. Colonic lipoma is rare and its symptoms are not specific. Abdominal CT scan helps for the diagnosis by giving evidence for an intussusception and sometimes for a tumor. Surgical excision followed by pathological examination of the surgical specimen enables the diagnosis of lipoma.
