Giant duodenal lipoma: An unusual cause of gastrointestinal bleeding (a case report)

Pan African Medical Journal, Volume 38, Article 342, Year 2021

Duodenal lipoma is a rare location of visceral lipomas, most are found incidentally via endoscopy or surgery and usually are asymptomatic. We report the case of a 58-year-old patient with an active bleeding duodenal lipoma. Although endoscopic treatment was scheduled initially, surgical intervention ultimately was indicated due to large size of tumor.
