Abstract
While intestinal tumors are rare, small intestinal lipomas are even more uncommon benign neoplasms. They are usually
asymptomatic, but lipomas larger than 2 cm may become symptomatic due to obstruction, bleeding, or intussusception. In this
paper, US and CT findings of a lipoma located in the terminal ileum and causing ileocecal intussusception were discussed.
We report a case of small bowel lipoma that became symptomatic due to intermittent obstruction episodes and ileocecal
intussuception. If the diagnosis of intestinal lipoma had been made absolutely as in our case, they should be removed surgically in
elective conditions.
