The authors report a case of multiple circumscribed colonic lipomas and undertake a review of the literature. Since the end of the 18th century, 45 clinical and autopsy cases have been reported. These exceptional lesions are sometimes strictly latent and discovered by chance, sometimes they may give rise to a picture of chronic intestinal obstruction and, more rarely, that of intussusception. Comparison of radiology and colonoscopy permits one to better suspect the diagnosis for there are unusual signs concerning both lesions. The treatment is mainly surgical but sometimes lipomectomy by the endoscopic route may be carried out when the lesions are not numerous.
