When the tumor is over 2 cm in size, symptoms such as abdominal pain, bowel disorders, and bowel obstruction are common. Surgery is considered the mainstay of treatment for colonic lipomas. Furthermore, surgical (rather than endoscopic) resection is preferred for lipomas >2 cm to avoid complications such as bleeding and perforation.
