Abstract

Duodenal lipoma is a rare location of visceral lipomas, most are found incidentally via endoscopy or surgery and usually are asymptomatic. We report the case of a 58-year-old patient with an active bleeding duodenal lipoma. Although endoscopic treatment was scheduled initially, surgical intervention ultimately was indicated due to large size of tumor.
