A RARE CASE OF INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION - MULTIPLE INTESTINAL LIPOMATOSIS

Lipomatosis of the gastrointestinal tract is a rare entity not often encountered, very few cases have been reported in medical literature. Per se benign tumors of the small bowel are relatively rare among them lipomas are the most common ones, with an incidence in autopsy ranging from 0.04 to 4.5. We present a case of 63 year old male with segmental multiple ileal lipomatosis presenting as acute small bowel obstruction.
