Abstract
In the present paper, it was aimed to discuss the clinicopathologic results of two cases who were diagnosed with gastric lipoma that is rarely seen, under the light of the literature. The first patient is a male dyspeptic patient aged 77 years, who applied with complaint of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage. In the endoscopic examination, an obstruction localized at antrum and a 3 cm diameter mass causing irregularity were identified. The second patient is a 65 years old female patient, who applied with similar dyspeptic complaints. In the endoscopic examination of the patient, a mass with a diameter of 4 cm, located at the junction of the stomach corpus antrum, was described. Subtotal gastrectomy was applied to both patients. As a result of histopathological analysis of the materials, both cases were diagnosed with gastric lipoma. Gastric lipomas generally have submucosal localization. They are coincidentally detected during the endoscopic biopsies and treated with resection or subtotal gastrectomy.
