A RARE CASE OF INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION - MULTIPLE INTESTINAL LIPOMATOSIS
Abstract
Lipomatosis of the gastrointestinal tract
is a rare entity not often encountered,
very few cases have been reported in
medical literature. Per se benign tumors
of the small bowel are relatively rare
among them lipomas are the most common
ones, with an incidence in autopsy
ranging from 0.04 to 4.5. We present a
case of 63 year old male with segmental
multiple ileal lipomatosis presenting as
acute small bowel obstruction.
