    AbstractA 61-year-old male patient underwent a colonoscopy for cramp-like upper abdominal pain of 3 weeks duration. An endoscopically irresectable ulcerated mass was seen in the transverse colon. The patient spontaneously excreted in the feces a tumor node measuring 4.1 × 3.5 × 2.8 cm with the histological features of a submucosal lipoma 4 days after the colonoscopy. A benign lipoma confined to the submucosa was operatively confirmed. It is extremely rare for a tumor node to be shed in feces. If the benign nature of the entire lesion is doubtful, standard oncological procedures are advocated.© 2022.
