ABSTRACT
@#Fat density lesions or masses arising from the mesentery are best imaged in Computed Tomography or Magnetic Resonance Imaging scans. This a case of a 75 year old man who presented with intestinal obstructive symptoms. Urgent computed tomography scan was carried out which revealed a large mesenteric lipoma compressing the small bowel at the level of the jejunal loops. Small bowel obstruction can be due to intrinsic, extrinsic and intraluminal causes. Mesenteric lipomas are uncommon, thus torsion or twisting of the mesenteric lipoma causing intestinal obstruction is exceptionally rare.
