Gastric lipoma presenting as upper gastrointestinal obstruction

V Treska et al. J Gastroenterol. 1998 Oct.

Abstract

A 61-year-old man presented with an upper gastrointestinal obstruction caused by a submucosal gastric lipoma in the prepyloric area. The diagnosis was made coincidentally during his admission for another disease. Gastric resection was performed because of a large lipoma combined with florid gastric ulcers. The frequency of gastric lipoma, its differential diagnosis, means of diagnosis, and treatment are discussed.
