“…It depends on the size, rapidity of growth, and location of the tumor. 2 , 3 An acute abdomen can be a presenting symptom when lipomas lead to intestinal obstruction, perforation, or volvulus. Lipomas that produce volvulus or torsion are relatively smaller than those causing compressive symptoms.…”

Giant Mesenteric Lipoma in an Adult

Lipomas are benign mesenchymal tumors of mature adipocytes and commonly occur in the upper trunk. Mesenteric lipomas are relatively rare tumors of the gastrointestinal system. They are usually asymptomatic, detected incidentally on abdominal imaging, or can present with variable symptoms depending on the location, size, and rapidity of tumor growth. The ileal mesentery is the most common site, occurring in adults ranging from 40 to 60 years. We present the case of an unusually large mesenteric lipoma in an adult male patient who presented with vague abdominal pain.

“…Abdominal cavity lipomas may be discovered as asymptomatic masses or they may cause variable nonspecific symptoms. These symptoms include progressive abdominal distention, [7] anorexia, abdominal pain, constipation, weight loss, and sensation of abdominal fullness [3] . Cases of intestinal volvulus caused by mesenteric lipoma are also reported [8] .…”

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.

“…Retroperitoneal lipomas are an extremely rare finding and only diagnosed after thoroughly excluding liposarcoma on morphologic and molecular genetic grounds. There have been at least 40 cases in the English literature; some presented with giant abdominal tumors [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. The majority of the reports describe typical lipomas with pure adipocytes on histology.…”
