title: Small-bowel lipoma: an uncommon cause of obstruction.
abstract: Small-bowel tumours are an uncommon cause of small-bowel obstruction. The symptoms are unusually nonspecific and intermittent. Contrast studies of the small bowel are the best means of delineating the lesion. The authors present a case in which obstruction was treated with small-bowel resection, and they give a brief account of the occurrence of small-bowel tumours in a major teaching hospital.
