Although lipomas are encapsulated benign tumors, systemic lipomatosis defines infiltrative nonencapsulated tumors resembling normal adipose tissue. Abdominal lipomatosis and intestinal lipomatosis are different clinicopathological entities with similar clinical symptoms. We describe here a case presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding from eroded submucosal lipoma at duodenum secondary to intestinal lipomatosis and abdominal lipomatosis.

Article Synopsis
- - Pseudolipomatosis (PL) is a rare, benign condition linked to gas penetration in the colorectal mucosa, often occurring due to injury during endoscopic procedures, but its exact cause is still not fully understood.
- - It's important for medical professionals to recognize PL to prevent unnecessary treatments, and techniques like immunohistochemistry can help distinguish it from similar conditions.
- - A case study involving a 70-year-old man revealed duodenal pseudolipomatosis, marking a rare occurrence, as only two previous cases were reported, and no other instances were found in a review of over 500 duodenal biopsies.
Chronic abdominal distention caused by diffuse nodular ileal and mesenteric lipomatosis: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)
August 2024
Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Hebei General Hospital, Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China.
Article Synopsis
- Diffuse intestinal and mesenteric lipomatosis is a rare condition where excessive fat grows in the intestines and surrounding tissue, causing significant abdominal distension, as seen in a 36-year-old woman.
- The diagnosis was confirmed through CT scans, leading to surgery where 250 cm of affected intestine was removed due to the unique presence of lipomas within both the submucosal and muscle layers.
- Post-surgery, the patient showed major improvement, including normal intestinal function and weight gain over 10 months, underscoring the effectiveness of surgery for this condition.

Small intestinal lipomatosis is a rare condition that presents a diagnostic challenge due to the absence of identifiable clinical symptoms and limitations of small intestine examination methods. Consequently, preoperative diagnosis is difficult and only a limited number of cases have been documented in the scientific literature. Here, we report a rare case of volvulus caused by small intestinal lipomatosis.
