Subtle presentation of jejunal lipomata with intussusception in a young adult

Lipomas of gastrointestinal (GI) tract could occur at any anatomical level and represent 1–2% of all GI tumours. Amongst them, <2% are noted in jejunum and almost all in later decade of life with varied and non-specific symptoms. Their intussusception is even rarer and mostly present with full ob...

Sumario:Lipomas of gastrointestinal (GI) tract could occur at any anatomical level and represent 1–2% of all GI tumours. Amongst them, <2% are noted in jejunum and almost all in later decade of life with varied and non-specific symptoms. Their intussusception is even rarer and mostly present with full obstructive symptoms. Herein, we would like to report a successfully treated case of subtle jejunal lipomata with intussusception in an otherwise healthy a 21-year-old female.
