A 62-year-old patient presented with multiple episodes of haematochezia, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Computed tomography demonstrated an 11 cm colo-colic intussusception with a lead point. Intraoperative and pathological findings found a benign 8.2 cm polypoid submucosal lipoma with ischaemic changes, ulceration, and necrosis of the surrounding colonic mucosa.
