摘要
Lipomatosis is an excessive local or general accumulation of fat in the body. It is usually asymptomatic, but depending on localization and size it can cause the patient to experience various difficulties. It can occur within digestive system as a benign mass. We report a case of a 50 year old female presented with mild intestinal symptoms and anemia. She had a lipomatous change of ileocecal valve and due to positive fecal occult blood test, barium enema and incompletely performed colonoscopy was misdiagnosed as a malignant tumor and was treated accordingly. © 2007 Springer-Verlag.
