    <Abstract>Colonic lipomas are rare mesenchymal tumors that are usually asymptomatic but occasionally can cause acute presentation with GI bleed and intussusception in adults. There overall incidence of this complication is less than 1 %. Most are less than 5 cm and the largest reported in literature is of 10 cm .This case reports a giant colonic lipoma measuring 10x8 cm causing Colo-colonic intussusception. Such large lesions have increased incidence of complications and often are confused with malignancy.</Abstract>
