“…They arise from deposits of adipose connective tissue in the bowel wall and can develop in any part of the gastrointestinal tract (6) . However, the most common site is the colon which constitutes 65% to 75% of cases in comparison with small intestine which constitutes only 20% to 25%.…”

“…12 Gastrointestinal (GI) angiolipoma is rare, and to the best of our knowledge, only 4 angiolipoma cases have been reported in the stomach so far (Table). [4][5][6][7] Occasional cases have been reported in other areas of the GI tract, including the esophagus, 13 duodenum, 8,14 small intestine, 15,16 colon, 9,11,[17][18][19] and rectum. 20,21 Angiolipoma in the GI tract almost exclusively occurs as a solitary lesion and usually lacks specific clinical manifestations.…”

Angiolipoma is a benign tumor composed of adipose tissue and proliferating blood vessels that is commonly found in the subcutaneous tissue of the trunk and extremities. Gastric angiolipoma is a rare entity, and to the best of our knowledge, only 4 cases have been reported in the English-language literature thus far. These tumors may present as gastrointestinal bleeding and anemia or with obstructive symptoms. Accurate preoperative diagnosis is challenging because of nonspecific clinical symptoms and lack of specific findings on imaging studies. The correct diagnosis is usually made by histopathologic examination. The clinical significance lies in being aware of this rare entity in the stomach and distinguishing it from other benign and malignant gastric neoplasms that may be in the differential diagnosis. We herein discuss the clinical presentation, radiologic and histopathologic features, ancillary studies, differential diagnosis, and treatment and prognosis of this rare entity.

“…1 This condition is uncommon in adults, with two to three cases occurring in a population of 10,00,000 per annum and accounts for less than 0.1% of all adult hospital admissions. [2][3][4] The diagnosis in adults is usually made at laparotomy, as most patients present as an emergency with intestinal obstruction. In non-emergency patients the diagnosis can be challenging as symptoms include intermittent abdominal pain that often settles comparatively quickly.…”
