Colonoscopic findings. (A) Hyperemic ileocecal valve was observed. (B) No visible mass is found in the hepatic flexure of ascending colon.

Abdominal computed tomography findings. (A) Well-defined, 3 cm sized low attenuated submucosal mass is identified on the hepatic flexure of ascending colon. (B) A round target-shaped mass is revealed in the right lower quadrant consisting of different densities.
Fig. 3
Macroscopic findings. (A) An ovoid shaped pedunculated submucosal mass is observed. (B) The cut surface shows lobulated yellowish adipose tissue with mixed thin fibrous tissue.
Fig. 4
Microscopic finding. The mass is located in the submucosa and composed of mature lipocytes (H&E stain, ×40).
