Gastroduodenal Lipomatosis in Familial Multiple Lipomatosis
View through CrossRef
<b><i>Objective:</i></b> To present a case of gastroduodenal lipomatosis associated with familial multiple lipomatosis (FML). <b><i>Clinical Presentation and Intervention:</i></b> A 58-year-old male presented with FML that manifested as multiple, painless, subcutaneous lipomas on his body; his mother had subcutaneous lipoma without a diagnosis of gastroduodenal lipomatosis. His lipid profile was normal. Abdominal computed tomography showed multiple, submucosal, polypoid lesions (of uniform density) of fat in the stomach and duodenum, and a small, similar lesion in the ileum. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> This case shows that gastrointestinal lipomatosis can manifest as FML.
