    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Lipomas, common soft tissue tumors, rarely occur in the gastrointestinal tract.
    • Intestinal obstruction is a surgical emergency often caused by various pathologies.

    Observation:

    • A 38-year-old patient presented with symptoms of intestinal obstruction.
    • Exploratory laparotomy revealed a 56 cm segment of obstructed, edematous ileum.

    Findings:

    • Histopathology confirmed an ileal lipoma causing stenosis.
    • The lipoma consisted of mature adipocytes within the ileal wall.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering lipomas in the differential diagnosis of intestinal obstruction.
