Description
Aziz Atallah and five co-authors report a large fatty growth in the colon of a young woman, in a 2026 case report. Fatty growths in the colon are uncommon and often cause no symptoms. Big ones can start a telescoping of the bowel, which is urgent. The woman, aged thirty-six, came in with two days of upper belly pain and vomiting.
Scans showed one part of the colon folded into another, with a fatty mass at the lead point. Surgeons operated at once due to the risk of bowel damage. The fold had already undone itself by the time of surgery. Part of the colon was removed, and she went home four days later. Lab checks confirmed a benign growth. The authors say such growths belong on the list for adult bowel telescoping.
