Angiolipofibroma of the right colon : a rare type of submucosal polyp

الملخص EN

Colorectal hamartomatous polyps originating from the submucosa represent a very small percentage of all colonic polyps.

Mesenchymal hamartomatous polyps are formed by more than one type of mesenchymal tissue.

We report the pathological findings of an unusual presentation of a polypoid proliferation of vascular, mature fatty and fibrous connective tissue.

The histological findings support the diagnosis of a hamartoma rather than a true neoplasm.
