Gastroduodenal Lipomatosis in Familial Multiple Lipomatosis

Abstract

Objective: To present a case of gastroduodenal lipomatosis associated with familial multiple lipomatosis (FML). Clinical Presentation and Intervention: 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. Conclusion: This case shows that gastrointestinal lipomatosis can manifest as FML. © 2016 S. Karger AG, Basel.
