“…A discontinuation of the diaphragmatic echo behind the lesion has been observed. 14,15 On CT, hepatic lipomas are homogeneously hypodense, with an attenuation value close to that of subcutaneous fat. Hepatic lipomas do not enhance following injection of an intravenous contrast agent.…”

“…Similar findings have been reported in a limited number of published reports of abdominal lipomatosis in people (Furquim et al, 2009). Lipoma identification by ultrasound examination in symptomatic or asymptomatic patients is however described, both in people, affecting various organs (Bruneton et al, 1987; Lau & Thoeni, 2005; Liang et al, 2019; Puvaneswary et al, 2000; Skaane & Sandbaek, 1990), and in horses (Manso‐Díaz et al, 2018).…”

An obese 17-year-old Shetland pony mare with a history of recurrent colic episodes was presented for investigation of colic signs of a few hours' duration associated with marked tachycardia. Transabdominal ultrasonography identified a large amount of multilobulated tissue that was hypoechoic to the adjacent retroperitoneal fat within the caudal and ventral abdomen; this could be seen extending dorsally into the mid-abdomen between intestinal structures. At exploratory laparotomy, a lipoma at the mesenteric attachment of the mid-jejunum (considered likely to have caused intermittent extraluminal compression) as well as excessively thick layers of fat in the mesentery of both small and large intestine (compatible with lipomatosis) were identified. The lipoma was removed. Post-operative recovery was uneventful. A strict diet was enforced, resulting in marked weight loss over the 12-week post-surgery period. Follow-up abdominal ultrasound examination identified a reduction in the thickness of the retroperitoneal fat layer and the abnormal multilobulated tissue. This is the first case report detailing the ultrasonographic findings in a case of extensive mesenteric lipomatosis in a pony and describing the ultrasonographic improvement following a weight loss programme.

“…Sonographic findings include hypoechoic, well-defined lesions with smooth borders at the site of the tenderness, that may displace the stomach [ 14 , 15 ]. Calcifications have also been described [ 11 ]. Color flow on Doppler study could also be of help when infarction is speculated.…”

Lipomas of the ligamentum teres hepatis are extremely uncommon. There have been only a few cases reported in the literature, including lipomas of the falciform ligament of the liver. Here we report a case of torsion and infarction of a lipoma of the ligamentum teres hepatis in a 43-year-old female patient, who presented with acute epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting. Diagnosis was based on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Patient underwent exploratory laparoscopy followed by laparoscopic excision of the infracted lipoma. Finally, we also provide a mini-review of the literature in order to highlight that although rare, this pathology should be included in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen.
