A case of colo-colic invagination caused by lipoma of the splenic flexure which led to emergency operation is reported. Colon lipomas are benign neoformations of the submucosa with prevalence of the right colon and with a frequency of from 0.3% to 5.8% in the whole population depending on clinical or autoptic series. Radiological and endoscopic investigations provide orientative elements for diagnosis. The most frequent complications are bleeding and intussusception in 50% of cases. Surgical removal may be carried out, preferably segmentary resection, so as not to be forced to operate on a complication in emergency conditions.

D007443	Intussusception	A form of intestinal obstruction caused by the PROLAPSE of a part of the intestine into the adjoining intestinal lumen. There are four types: colic, involving segments of the LARGE INTESTINE; enteric, involving only the SMALL INTESTINE; ileocecal, in which the ILEOCECAL VALVE prolapses into the CECUM, drawing the ILEUM along with it; and ileocolic, in which the ileum prolapses through the ileocecal valve into the COLON.
