Hydrocolonic Sonography: Description of the Technique and Its Application in a Case of Intracolonic Lipoma: Report about a Case

Intracolonic lipomas are benign lesions but can cause serious complications, especially when they are large. Regarding a 3 cm intracecal lipoma, we describe an ultrasound modality called a hydrocolonic ultrasound and how this technique can be used in the long-term follow-up of these lesions.
