Lipomas of the gastrointestinal tract are rare, slow-growing lesions that comprise 0.4% of all gastrointestinal neoplasms. They can cause dysphagia, dyspnoea or sudden choking.
Due to rarity of this condition and its uncommon presentation, a literature review was carried out (PubMed). This search revealed 290 articles, of which 74 were considered pertinent and were evaluated. We report a case of a 13cm pedunculated oesophageal lipoma that presented with increasing dysphagia and two episodes of suffocation. The patient underwent curative resection through a cervical approach.
Resection is recommended for large (>5 cm) or symptomatic polyps. Outcomes are excellent given that lesions are universally benign and oesophageal resection is not required.
胃肠道脂肪瘤是罕见的、生长缓慢的病变,占所有胃肠道肿瘤的0.4%。它们可导致吞咽困难、呼吸困难或突然窒息。
由于这种疾病罕见且表现不常见,因此进行了文献综述(PubMed)。该检索发现了290篇文章,其中74篇被认为相关并进行了评估。我们报告一例13厘米带蒂食管脂肪瘤病例,该患者出现吞咽困难加重和两次窒息发作。患者通过颈部入路接受了根治性切除术。
对于大的(>5厘米)或有症状的息肉,建议进行切除。鉴于病变普遍为良性且无需进行食管切除,预后良好。
