Gastric lipoma of the pylorus – case report of an incidental finding
Gastric lipomas are very rare benign tumors. Only around 217 cases have been reported. Most gastric lipomas are found incidentally; however, larger neoplasms can be symptomatic. The presented 64 years old male with incidental finding of pyloric lipoma adds another example to the few documented in th...

description | Gastric lipomas are very rare benign tumors. Only around 217 cases have been reported. Most gastric lipomas are found incidentally; however, larger neoplasms can be symptomatic. The presented 64 years old male with incidental finding of pyloric lipoma adds another example to the few documented in the literature. The patient had symptoms of breath shortness and lack of energy two months after COVID 19 pneumonia. A low dose CT scan with iodine contrast enhancement of the chest and upper abdomen led to the diagnose. The diagnosis of gastric lipoma can be achieved through diagnostic imaging or the combination of endoscopic techniques. Treatment can be carried out by endoscopy, robotic or classical surgery. |
