Abstract
Gastric lipomas (GL) are rare benign tumors of the stomach. Small GL (<2 cm in diameter) are usually asymptomatic. Large lesions can cause bleeding and obstruction. While endoscopic resection is the recommended treatment for small GL, there is no clear consensus for the treatment of larger lesions. Large GL can be removed safely using different endoscopic techniques [endoscopic mucosal resection, unroofing, loop and let go, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)]. In the literature, there is a limited number of large GL cases treated by ESD method. Here, we presented a case of large GL causing gastric outlet obstruction that was treated with ESD method.
