  • Title: Symptomatic intestinal lipomas requiring surgical interventions secondary to ileal intussusception and colonic obstruction: report of two cases.
    Author: Atila K, Terzi C, Obuz F, Yilmaz T, Füzün M.
    Journal: Ulus Travma Acil Cerrahi Derg; 2007 Jul; 13(3):227-31. PubMed ID: 17978899.
    Abstract:
    Lipomas are rare but well-recognized tumours of the small and large intestines. They usually arise from the submucosa and may occasionally protrude into the lumen, thus causing abdominal pain resulting from obstruction or intussusception or they may become evident through haemorrhage. Intestinal lipomas should be removed either endoscopically or surgically because they can cause severe symptoms and usually a tissue diagnosis is indicated in intestinal tumours to exclude a malignancy. We describe two cases of symptomatic intestinal lipoma and review some aspects of diagnosis and treatment.
