  • Title: Role of computed tomography and endoscopy in the management of alimentary tract lipomas.
    Author: Kang JY, Chan-Wilde C, Wee A, Chew R, Ti TK.
    Journal: Gut; 1990 May; 31(5):550-3. PubMed ID: 2351305.
    Abstract:
    Four cases of alimentary tract lipomas are described. While conventional radiology is unable to differentiate these tumours from the much commoner carcinomas, computed tomography and endoscopic examination may allow a definitive diagnosis thus sparing the patient major surgery. In selected cases endoscopic polypectomy is feasible and safe.
