Video Tip: Diagnosing a Colonic Lymphocele | January 2023-Diagnosing a Colonic Lymphocele

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video tip, sponsored by Braintree, a part of Cibela Pharmaceuticals, showcases a case of a two-centimeter isolated soft lesion found during a screening colonoscopy in a 58-year-old asymptomatic woman. The overlying mucosa of the lesion appears normal, and it is determined to be a colonic lymphocele or lymphangiocele, a rare and benign condition. The tip-off is the grayish color of the lesion, distinguishing it from yellow-colored lipomas, which are more common in the colon. The video emphasizes that these lesions do not require treatment and can be recognized during colonoscopies. The prevalence of such lesions is estimated to be less than one in several thousand routine colonoscopies.
