[Bleeding plug obstructing the pylorus - a rare complication of a gastric lipoma]
Abstract:
A 67-year-old patient was admitted to our hospital with lack of appetite and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The immediately performed emergency gastroscopy showed a giant subepithelial tumour with ulceration located in the antrum. Emerging from the tumourous ulcer was a peg-shaped outgrowth reaching through the pylorus down to the duodenum causing gastric outlet obstruction. Based on this unusual presentation of a gastric giant lipoma we have reviewed the literature concerning differential diagnosis and treatment options.
