[Lower gastrointestinal bleeding due to ileal lipoma. Diagnosis contribution of contrast enhanced helical CT].
Jejunoileal gastrointestinal hemorrhage is uncommon and difficult to diagnose. Ileal lipoma is an unusual cause of jejunoileal bleeding. We report the case of a 45-Year-old patient admitted for acute gastrointestinal bleeding. The patient was taking aspirin at admission. A bleeding intussuscepted ileal lipoma was localized with a contrast enhanced helical computed tomography. This diagnosis was confirmed by laparotomy.
