Laparoscopic management of an unusual cause of massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding
K Sendhil Kumar
Gateway Clinics, India
Lipoma of stomach is a rare form of tumor. A majority of these tumors were managed by endoscopic and open surgical
intervention, with few data published which were managed by total laparoscopy for massive bleeding from huge gastric
lipoma. We reported a case of a 67-year-old man with massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding who was diagnosed as having
a large bleeding gastric lipoma that was managed successfully with laparoscopic excision. Lipomas are benign tumours of
adipose tissue. Gastric lipomas are rare and account for less than 1% of all tumors of the stomach and 5% of all gastrointestinal
lipomas. They typically occur in the 5th or 6th decade of life with equal sex incidences and 75% occur in the antral region
in thesubmucosa or serosallayers. They are usually asymptomatic and are commonly detected incidentally; however, they
may present with gastric outlet obstruction and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Approximately 220 cases have been reported
in the medical literature and further only three cases have been reported presenting with massive upper gastrointestinal
haemorrhage. A case of gastric lipoma with massive GI bleed is reported and relevant management options and differential
diagnosis discussed.
