The disease was manifested at the age of 24 years, although according to the literature the average age of patients with this disease is 40-60 years. The patient complained of the mild pain in the right low part of the abdominal wall and diarrhea mixed with blood for 2 months. During a colonoscopy the giant pedunculated tumor 8,5*5,0*5,0 cm was found. We performed endoscopic removal of the tumor. Histological examination revealed a lipoma with ulceration of the mucosa.
