Isolated, segmental lipomatosis of the jejunum. Case report.
A case of segmental lipomatosis of the jejunum producing intermittent intussusception is reported. Preoperative barium studies suggested the diagnosis. Segmental resection of the affected bowel gave complete relief from symptoms. Of the 19 previously reported cases of small-bowel lipomatosis, only one had isolated involvement of the jejunum.
