Gastrointestinal lipomas, though rare, can cause diverse symptoms. Advanced diagnostics aid in accurate preoperative diagnosis and management of these benign tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Pathology

Context:

  • Lipomas are benign tumors of adipose tissue.
  • Gastrointestinal lipomas are uncommon, presenting diagnostic challenges.
  • This study reviews a case series of gastrointestinal lipomas.

Purpose:

  • To describe the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of gastrointestinal lipomas.
  • To highlight the utility of advanced diagnostic modalities.
  • To emphasize the importance of recognizing lipomas as a cause of gastrointestinal symptoms.

Summary:

  • Six patients aged 52-70 years with gastrointestinal lipomas were treated between 1975-1990.
  • Five lipomas were in the colon, and one was in the stomach.
  • Preoperative diagnosis was achieved in four cases; four patients underwent surgery, while two were managed conservatively.
