Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Surgical Pathology

Background:

Lipomatosis is a rare condition characterized by the proliferation of adipose tissue.
Segmental small-intestinal lipomatosis specifically affects segments of the small intestine.

Observation:

Two cases of segmental small-intestinal lipomatosis presented with crampy abdominal pain due to partial intestinal obstruction.
Literature review identified 16 similar cases, with some involving extensive small intestine.
Associated lesions included diverticulosis and intussusception.

Findings:

Diagnosis can be aided by abnormal roentgenographic patterns.
Surgical resection of the affected segment is curative.
Complete resection is feasible when the bowel involvement is not excessively extensive.

Implications:

Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes.
Understanding associated lesions aids in comprehensive patient management.
This condition highlights the importance of considering rare pathologies in abdominal pain evaluations.
