Background: Gastric lipomatosis is characterized by multiple gastric lipomas or a diffuse gastric infiltration of the submucosal or subserosal layer by the adipose tissue; diffuse-type gastric lipomatosis is an extremely rare condition. Here, we present the case of a patient with gastric lipomatosis treated by total gastrectomy.
Case Presentation: A 54-year-old man diagnosed with gastric submucosal tumor in 2008 was referred to our hospital for further examination and treatment in September 2016. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a submucosal tumor with an associated ulcer on the anterior wall of the lower body of the stomach. A compressing mass was observed on the anterior wall of the greater curvature and the posterior wall of the stomach. Following a biopsy of the submucosal tumor and ulcer, lipoma without malignancy was diagnosed by microscopy. A giant gastric lipoma was suspected because endoscopic ultrasound revealed a high-echoic lesion on the antral wall that extended to the stomach. Therefore, total gastrectomy was performed, and gastric lipomatosis was confirmed by a histological examination of the resected specimen.
Conclusions: Surgical treatment is a highly effective treatment for symptomatic gastric lipomatosis with extensive involvement or multiple lipomas and can be used for patient diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
- The ileocecal valve is crucial for separating different parts of the intestine, and issues with it can lead to small intestinal bacterial overgrowth syndrome.
- This study aims to enhance understanding of the ileocecal valve through transabdominal ultrasound, comparing it with colonoscopy and CT colonography findings.
- Key findings show variations in the valve's morphology, with lipomatosis presenting a unique ultrasound image, emphasizing the importance of proper preparation and lymph node assessment in exams.

Background: Gastric lipomatosis (GL) is defined as a lipomatous lesion with diffuse infiltration of the submucosal layer by adipose tissue with multiple lesions and must be differentiated from gastrointestinal lipomas, which are solitary submucosal masses composed of well-differentiated adipose tissue surrounded by a fibrous capsule. GL are uncommon, represents 5 % of gastrointestinal tract lipomas and less than 1∼3 % of all gastric tumors.
Case Presentation: A 65-year-old woman, who underwent non-operatively approach by Gastric lipomatosis.

Introduction: Excessive fat accumulation in the gastrointestinal tract is pathologic. Gastric mucosal polyposis due to excessive submucosal fat infiltration in a bariatric partial gastrectomy specimen was encountered, which has not been described in the literature. This observation prompted us to assess the extent of fat in gastric submucosa and study the incidence of mucosal polyposis due to submucosal fat accumulation in morbidly obese patients.
