[A voluminous gastric lipoma simulating mediogastric stenosis].

The paper reports on a case of gastric lipoma (12/10/6 cm) placed mediocorporeally and with clinical manifestations of upper digestive obstruction, clinically and radiologically interpreted as a secondary mediogastric stenosis of an ulcer of the small curvature. The diagnosis of gastric lipoma was established intraoperatively, and by surgery the tumour was excised together with its implantation basis. The anatomopathological, clinical and therapeutical aspects of gastric lipomas are discussed.
