Popis: | Seven cases of lipoma of the intestine demonstrated by computed tomography (CT) are reported. There were three men and four women who ranged in age from 47 to 78 years. The lipomas were in the small intestine in four patients, and in the colon in three. CT documented the characteristic low attenuation (fat density) of these masses in all patients. It is concluded that intestinal lipomas are important indications for CT evaluations. |
