Abstract

FURTADO, W.S. et al. Gastric lipoma and pyloric obstruction in a 51-year-old woman. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2013, vol.36, n.1, pp.145-148. ISSN 1137-6627.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1137-66272013000100020.

Gastric lipoma is considered a rare condition that may constitute a challenging diagnosis. A 51-year-old woman presented dysphagia and abdominal pain, and an upper digestive endoscopic study disclosed a gastric tumor located in the submucosa of the pyloric antrum. Conclusive diagnosis was established after repeated endoscopic biopsies, and the patient was subjected to an atypical gastrectomy, which evolved into a pyloric stenosis. This complication was appropriately corrected and the patient remains symptomless, under outpatient surveillance.

Keywords : Atypical gastrectomy; Benign tumor; Gastric lipoma; Pyloric obstruction.
