ABSTRACT
Lipohyperplasia is a lesion characterized by diffuse infiltration of lipocyte in the submucosal layer, which was formally known as 'lipomatosis' or 'lipomatous hyperplasia'. Lipohyperplasia is distinguished from lipoma, the former is not encapsulated and has normal mucosa. Most of lipohyperplasia developed at the ileocecal valve, showed clinical manifestation of abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, intestinal intussuception and intestinal obstruction. We experienced a case of a 45-year-old woman who had polypoid lipohyperplasia of the stomach. Her chief complaint was recurrent epigastric discomfort. Endoscopic finding was a 10 9 mm sized polypoid lesion in the anterior wall of lower body of the stomach. Endoscopic polypectomy was performed and the histological examination revealed infiltration of lipocyte in the submucosal layer.
