  • Title: Recurrent intestinal haemorrhages caused by a lipoma in the ileocaecal valve in a patient with Von Willebrand's disease.
    Author: Hoekstra HJ, Wobbes T, Vellenga E.
    Journal: Neth J Surg; 1980; 32(4):163-6. PubMed ID: 6970351.
    Abstract:
    Lipomas of the digestive tract are rare and may give rise to obstruction, intussusception or haemorrhage. In a 74-year old woman with Von Willebrand's disease, a lipoma in the ileocaecal valve caused frequent intestinal haemorrhages and chronic anaemia over a period of more than 15 years. Diagnosis and therapy are discussed on the basis of the case history.
