Objective:
To present a case of gastroduodenal lipomatosis associated with familial multiple lipomatosis (FML).
Clinical Presentation And Intervention:
A 58-year-old male presented with FML that manifested as multiple, painless, subcutaneous lipomas on his body; his mother had subcutaneous lipoma without a diagnosis of gastroduodenal lipomatosis. His lipid profile was normal. Abdominal computed tomography showed multiple, submucosal, polypoid lesions (of uniform density) of fat in the stomach and duodenum, and a small, similar lesion in the ileum.
Conclusion:
This case shows that gastrointestinal lipomatosis can manifest as FML.
