Figure

• 

  Fig. 1 Colonoscopic finding. It showed a huge polypoid mass with hyperemic, erosive, nodular surface and covering thick and yellowish mucus.

• 

  Fig. 2 Abdominal CT showing a well-defined mass with low density (arrows) causing a colo-colic intussusception.

• 

  Fig. 3 Gross findings. (A) An about 4.7×4×4.1 cm sized polypoid mass with hyperemic surface was identified. (B) The cut surface of mass showed yellow fatty consistency.

• 

  Fig. 4 Pathologic findings. (A) The surface of the tumor showed erosive and inflammatory changes and ulcer debris (H&E stain, ×12.5). (B) The submucosal mass was composed of matured adipocytes (H&E stain, ×40).
