Lipoma of the colon is the most common non-epithelial benign tumor of the colon, although it is very rare. We report herein a case of rectal submucosal lipoma in a 44-year-old woman who had a rectal polipoid lesion detected during rectal examination and colonoscopy. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis.
