Summary
Gastric angiolipomas are rare benign tumors. This study reports a 4 cm gastric angiolipoma successfully treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection, offering a minimally invasive option.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Angiolipomas are benign neoplasms characterized by mature adipose tissue and proliferating blood vessels.
- Typically found in subcutaneous tissues of the trunk and limbs, they are exceptionally rare in the gastrointestinal tract.
Observation:
- A rare case of a 4 cm gastric angiolipoma is presented.
- The lesion was located in the stomach, a highly unusual site for angiolipoma.
Findings:
- Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of angiolipoma.
- Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was utilized for diagnosis and complete resection of the gastric angiolipoma.
Implications:
- This case highlights ESD as a viable and effective treatment modality for gastric angiolipomas.
- It expands the understanding of angiolipoma presentation and management in the gastrointestinal tract.
