Abstract
Gastric lipomatosis is a rare condition in which multiple lipomas develop in the stomach. We herein describe a 52-year-old woman diagnosed with gastric lipomatosis without any symptoms. The patient was incidentally diagnosed with gastric lipomatosis on endoscopy and computed tomography four years previously. Recent examination revealed that the lipomas located in the prepyloric antrum had increased in size and extent. Distal gastrectomy and Billroth-II reconstruction were performed and pathologically confirmed the diagnosis of gastric lipomatosis. The patient has not experienced any recurrence in the two years following the surgery. This patient highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment to prevent potential complications associated with gradually growing gastric lipomatosis.
