Abstract

ABSTRACT Small intestinal lipomatosis is a rare condition with a poorly understood epidemiology and pathophysiology. Cases of small intestinal lipomatosis have been documented in multiple countries over the last century, yet little has been published regarding the natural history of this disease. Therapeutic options are largely surgical and based on limited evidence. We report a unique case of diffuse jejunal lipomatosis in a 62-year-old man with complications of small bowel obstruction, small bowel volvulus, jejunal diverticulosis, pneumatosis intestinalis, malnutrition, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, and intestinal dysmotility developing over a 12-year period.
