Lipomas are common benign mesenchymal neoplasms documented in literature. This study aimed to describe the computed tomographic (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of gastrointestinal system lipomas, all of which are incidentally found in routine abdominal imaging studies. Lipomas were depicted as homogeneous, nonenhancing, well-marginated lesions consistent with adipose tissue on CT and MRI. The density measurements on CT images consistent with fat are virtually diagnostic. Lipomas can incidentally be found and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of soft tissue gastrointestinal system-related masses. Computed tomographic or MRI examinations can correctly diagnose a lipoma nonoperatively, thereby allowing better treatment planning.
脂肪瘤是文献记载中常见的良性间叶组织肿瘤。本研究旨在描述胃肠道脂肪瘤的计算机断层扫描（CT）和磁共振成像（MRI）表现，所有这些脂肪瘤均在常规腹部影像学检查中偶然发现。脂肪瘤在CT和MRI上表现为均匀、无强化、边界清晰的病变，与脂肪组织一致。CT图像上与脂肪一致的密度测量实际上具有诊断意义。脂肪瘤可偶然发现，在软组织胃肠道相关肿块的鉴别诊断中应予以考虑。计算机断层扫描或MRI检查可在非手术情况下正确诊断脂肪瘤，从而有助于制定更好的治疗方案。
