title: [Lipoid hyperplasia of the ileocecal valve. A report of 2 cases operated on in the occlusive phase].
abstract: Two cases of lipomatosis of the ileocaecal valve, causing intestinal obstruction are reported. Surgery was performed on an emergency basis. A careful assessment of clinical and radiological findings is important, in order to distinguish such as a disease from caecal carcinoma. In fact this is a benign disease, for which conservative surgery is indicated.
