ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 58 year old lady, admitted to hospital with gastrointestinal bleeding. Oesophago-gastroduodenoscopy demonstrated a protrusion in the gastric wall with erosion of the surface epithelium. Further investigations using a computed tomography scan revealed that the protrusion was in fact a submucosal lipoma, which required surgical intervention. This case has shown that a patient presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding requiring urgent endoscopic examination may also benefit from further investigations such as a computed tomography scan to confirm the diagnosis
