The case report of an obese patient deals with his background, history of life and its correlation to obesity. The causes, circumstances and habits of eating are almost a perfect expression of the traditional theories of obesity. This case report emphasizes the correlation between the psychiatric theory that divides the obese people into adult and juvenile types and the histological findings that obesity can be divided into hyperplastic and hypertrophic types according to the quality and quantity of the fat cells. In fact these two theories may be manifestations of the basic, yet unknown cause of obesity. A doubt to the classical theories is cast by the operation of jejunoileostomy which changes many personality characteristics which were considered primary in obesity.
一份肥胖患者的病例报告涉及他的背景、生活史及其与肥胖的关联。饮食的原因、情况和习惯几乎完美地体现了传统的肥胖理论。本病例报告强调了将肥胖人群分为成人型和青少年型的精神病学理论与根据脂肪细胞的质和量将肥胖分为增生型和肥大型的组织学发现之间的相关性。事实上，这两种理论可能是肥胖基本但未知原因的表现。空肠回肠造口术的实施改变了许多在肥胖中被认为是原发性的人格特征，这对经典理论提出了质疑。
