Abstract
- Gastrointestinal tract lipoma is a rare case for an emergency physician to encounter. Gastrointestinal lipomas are benign slowly growing tumors that can be found throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract. Lipomas manifests with general gastrointestinal symptoms which makes it difficult for an emergency physician to differentiate with other gastrointestinal tract problems. We report two cases of gastrointestinal lipoma: one was a 13 cm sized giant colonic lipoma located in the descending colon and the other case was a distal ileal lipoma which was identified as a leading point of intussusception. Both patients visited the emergency department with ambiguous symptoms and were treated successfully by surgery.
