Özet
The rectal lipoma prolapse through the anus is a rare event. Only a few cases are reported in the literature. An 81-year-old women patient was admitted to the emergency department with a complaint of swelling in the anus. Rectal examination revealed a hyperemic, edematous mass protruding from the anal canal, measuring 80×80×50 mm. The patient was hospitalized and operated under general anesthesia. No complications developed, and the patient was discharged on the first postoperative day. Histopathological diagnosis was identified as lipoma. Such lipomas can be confused with external rectal prolapse, rectoanal polyps with pedicles, and thrombosed hemorrhoids. Colonoscopy, CT, and CT colonography are the most im-portant diagnostic tools for these cases. Lipomas are treated by endo-scopic, laparoscopic, or open surgical interventions according to their size and localization.
