Omental and mesenteric lipomas are very rare benign lesions of mature adipose tissue. They are well-defined, noninvasive, and encapsulated masses that can be discovered in asymptomatic patients or may cause variable nonspecific symptoms depending on their size and location. The omental and mesenteric lipoma has confusing features in ultrasound; however, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging can well characterize and demarcate these lesions. Though few cases of mesenteric and omental lipomas have been reported in the literature, but because of its large size and childhood presentation, the case we present, can be one of the largest childhood omental and mesenteric lipomas ever reported. A 6-year-old girl presented with slowly progressing abdominal distension and repeated dull abdominal pain for last 4 years. Abdominal and pelvic computed tomography examination revealed a huge mesenteric and omental lipoma that was resected surgically without any complications.

“…Lipomas are well-defined, noninvasive, benign, and encapsulated tumours with a composition similar to that of normal adipose tissue [3]. In generalised lipomatosis, there are masses of diffuse infiltrating lipomatosis resembling simple lipomas except for their extensive infiltrative distribution [3]. Involvement of the face, neck, extremities, trunk, abdomen, and the pelvis has been reported [2].…”

“…So far two cases of abdominal lipomatosis have been reported in children. The first case described a five-year old boy who presented with periumbilical nonradiating abdominal pain, abdominal distension and umbilical herniation [3]. The second case was an eight-year old child diagnosed with diffuse lipomatosis including intraperitoneal, retroperitoneal, and abdominal wall involvement [5].…”

Peritoneal lipomatosis is a rare disease in childhood with only two cases previously described in children. We report a further case of a 12-year-old boy diagnosed with peritoneal lipomatosis. His main symptoms were abdominal pain, alternating bowel habit, abdominal distension, and melaena. His diagnostic work up included an abdominal MRI, wireless capsule endoscopy and single-balloon enteroscopy. Peritoneal lipomatosis although rare can be diagnosed in childhood. It is a benign clinical entity with variable manifestations.
