This article, titled "A Gastric Lipoma That Grew in Size in Seven Years Presenting Bleeding," discusses the case of a 62-year-old woman who presented with melena and fasting epigastric pain. After examination and testing, a submucosal lesion in the antrum was discovered, which was diagnosed as a gastric lipoma. The lipoma had grown significantly since it was first diagnosed seven years ago, leading to the possibility of liposarcoma. The woman underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy, and the postoperative course was uneventful. The histopathological examination confirmed that the tumor was a benign lipoma. Gastric lipomas are slow-growing, common benign tumors in the gastrointestinal tract, and they are most commonly found in the antrum. Large gastric lipomas can cause bleeding or gastric outlet obstruction. The article concludes by stating that the surgical technique for symptomatic lipomas has not been established, and both resection and enucleation are considered effective approaches.
