| Abstrakt: | Lipomas are benign mesenchymal tumors of mature adipocytes and commonly occur in the upper trunk. Mesenteric lipomas are relatively rare tumors of the gastrointestinal system. They are usually asymptomatic, detected incidentally on abdominal imaging, or can present with variable symptoms depending on the location, size, and rapidity of tumor growth. The ileal mesentery is the most common site, occurring in adults ranging from 40 to 60 years. We present the case of an unusually large mesenteric lipoma in an adult male patient who presented with vague abdominal pain. (© 2022 The Author(s).
