title: [Duodenal lipoma causing intestinal subocclusion. Case report].
abstract: Duodenum is a rare position for gastrointestinal lipoma which sometimes may lead to severe complications. Authors report the case of a 60-year old woman treated with a transduodenotomic excision through a midline laparotomy. At admission the patient presented epigastric pain for 1 month. Physical examination was negative except for a modest epigastric sensitivity. CT scan showed image with regular features and fat density, and permitted the exact preoperative diagnosis. Final histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis.
