Resumen
DOMINGUEZ-PROFETA, Rebeca et al. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for giant gastric lipoma in morbid obese patient. Cir. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.88, suppl.1, pp.39-42. Epub 08-Feb-2022. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.20001354.
Background:
Gastric lipomas account for 5% of all gastrointestinal lipomas. Most of them are solitary, small and asymptomatic, however, they can cause severe symptoms such as obstruction, bleeding and intussusception. The standard treatment is surgical resection.
Case report:
50 years old female with history of morbid obesity with a body mass index (BMI) of 47.4 Kg/m2, who presented with symptoms of epigastric pain and anemia. CT scan of the abdomen revealed a 6.3 cm gastric lipoma, confirmed by endoscopic biopsy.
Discussion:
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is the procedure of choice for the excision of giant gastric lipomas in the morbidly obese, when anatomically feasible.
