    Author: Suga Y, Abdi E, Bekele M.
    Journal: Ethiop J Health Sci; 2019 Jul; 29(4):529-532. PubMed ID: 31447527.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: A lipoma of the small bowel mesentery is a rare clinical entity. It rarely causes intestinal obstruction mainly due to volvulus. CASE: We report a case of a 25 years old male who presented with acute exacerbation of abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Plain abdominal x-ray showed complete small bowel obstruction. At laparotomy, there was small bowel volvulus with a big yellow mass as an axis. Enbloc resection and end-to-end ileal anastomosis was done. CONCLUSION: Mesenteric lipoma are rare. They should be considered in cases of long standing abdominal pain.
