Lipomas are the second most common benign tumors of the small bowel, and most lipomas are asymptomatic. However, lipomas with diameters of >20 mm tend to be symptomatic, for example, to cause bleeding, obstructive jaundice, abdominal pain, intestinal obstruction, intussusception, and/or perforation.
METHODS/RESULTS: We report a case of massive gastrointestinal bleeding from a jejunal lipoma combined with intussusception. A preoperative diagnosis of gastrointestinal bleeding derived from a jejunal lipoma combined with intussusception was made based on double-balloon enteroscopy and contrast-enhanced computed tomography, and partial resection of the small intestine was performed. After surgery, there was no additional gastrointestinal bleeding.
There have only been a few reports about cases of jejunal lipoma involving simultaneous bleeding and intussusception. Double-balloon enteroscopy is useful for preoperatively diagnosing bleeding from a lipoma. Our case highlights that jejunal lipoma can cause massive unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding.
脂肪瘤是小肠第二常见的良性肿瘤,大多数脂肪瘤无症状。然而,直径>20毫米的脂肪瘤往往有症状,例如引起出血、梗阻性黄疸、腹痛、肠梗阻、肠套叠和/或穿孔。
方法/结果:我们报告一例空肠脂肪瘤合并肠套叠导致大量胃肠道出血的病例。基于双气囊小肠镜检查和增强计算机断层扫描,术前诊断为源于空肠脂肪瘤合并肠套叠的胃肠道出血,并进行了小肠部分切除术。术后未再发生胃肠道出血。
关于空肠脂肪瘤同时合并出血和肠套叠的病例报告仅有少数。双气囊小肠镜检查有助于术前诊断脂肪瘤出血。我们的病例突出表明空肠脂肪瘤可导致大量不明原因的胃肠道出血。
