Bleeding Gastric Lipoma Resected by Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection

Cureus. 2020 Jun 29;12(6):e8909. doi: 10.7759/cureus.8909.

Abstract

Gastric lipomas are slow-growing benign lesions of the stomach that are often detected incidentally. Most cases are asymptomatic but larger lesions may become symptomatic, thereby requiring treatment. Multiple endoscopic modalities have been used for resection in the past. We present the case of a 67-year-old patient who presented with upper GI bleeding secondary to a gastric lipoma, which was successfully resected by endoscopic submucosal dissection.

Keywords: bleeding lipoma; endoscopic submucosal dissection; gastric lipoma.
