title: [Multiple duodenal lipomas. A x-ray computed tomographic diagnosis].
abstract: In a 65-year-old man, upper endoscopy revealed several polypoid lesions into the duodenum, for which histologic examination of the biopsy specimens showed normal mucosa. CT studies demonstrated homogeneous fat density of these nodules, and thus were diagnostic of duodenal lipomas. The diagnosis was ultimately histologically confirmed by deeper peri-endoscopic biopsies. About this case and the some previously reported ones, the authors emphasize the interest of CT examination in this small bowel tumor.
