Lipoma of the gastrointestinal tract: a tertiary care centre experience.

Introduction: Gastrointestinal (GI) lipomas are rare; however, they are frequent enough to be considered in the differential diagnosis of gut tumours. Here, we present our experience with GI lipomas managed at our institute over the last three years.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of patients with GI lipomas managed between January, 2020 and April, 2023 at a tertiary care centre.

Patients usually remain asymptomatic till menarche and experience progressive dysmenorrhea, suprapubic lump, and/or features of infection (pyometra, pelvic collection, etc.) afterward.

Laparoscopic transdiaphragmatic approach to a thoracic paravertebral hydatid cyst presenting with compression myelopathy.

An elderly gentleman presented with heaviness over the right side of the chest, lower back pain and difficulty in walking for the last 6 months. He also reported of progressive weakness of the left leg associated with tingling and numbness for 2 months.
