Abstract
|
|
|
|
Gastrointestinal lipoma is a benign tumor of mature adipose tissue, surrounded by fibrous capsule. They can be located anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract, but rarely in the stomach, especially at the cardia. Gastric lipoma accounts for approximately 2∼3% of all benign gastric tumors, and 5% of all gastrointestinal lipomas. Lipoma tends to have very low malignant potential, but if it induces symptoms like abdominal pain or hemorrhage, it needs to be removed. We report a case of gastric lipoma which was successfully removed by only using a detachable snare. A 72-years-old woman who had no specific symptom was found to have a submucosal tumor at cardia. During endoscopy, the fatty internal material accidently came out after tearing the mucosa with biopsy, and it was successfully removed using a detachable snare.
