Resumen
MATTHIESS, Sonia et al. Gastrointestinal bleeding due to ulcerated intussuscepted jejunal lipoma. Rev. argent. cir. [online]. 2024, vol.116, n.1, pp.56-59. Epub 15-Feb-2024. ISSN 2250-639X. http://dx.doi.org/10.25132/raac.v116.n1.1708.
Jejunal lipomas are rare benign mesenchymal tumors made up of adipocytes confined to the submucosa layer. They are usually asymptomatic and are incidentally found during imaging or endoscopic tests. Those measuring > 2 cm may become symptomatic as a result of complications as intestinal intussusception, obstruction and bleeding.
We herein report a rare case of intussusception of an ulcerated jejunal lipoma in an adult patient, that was diagnosticated in the setting of an intestinal hemorrhage.
Palabras clave : small intestine; gastrointestinal bleeding; intestinal obstruction.
