Abstract
Four cases of gastrointestinal lipoma that were demonstrated by computed tomography (CT) are presented. Until now, definitive diagnosis of gastrointestinal lipomas has required fiberoptic endoscopy, biopsy or surgical excision. CT may become a definitive diagnostic examination for lipomas of the gastrointestinal tract.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
