This is a case report of a male patient admitted with a huge rectosigmoid mass that had eroded into the lumen, causing persistent rectal bleeding. Special procedures such as double contrast Barium Enema, abdomino-pelvic CT-Scan and proctosigmoidoscopy addressed us to identify it as an intramural lipoma. Rectosigmoid lipoma with its differential diagnosis and surgical approach is reviewed together with the most pertinent literature.
