Atlas of Gastrointestinal Imaging Figure 1.4.3 Small bowel lipomas

FIGURE 1.4.3 Small bowel lipomas. Contrast-enhanced CT (A) and EGD (B) images from two different patients show small bowel lipomas with a similar pedunculated appearance. 3D endoluminal small bowel image from CT colonography (C) and capsule endoscopy image (D) from two different patients show small bowel lipomas that were incidentally detected. CT images (E and F) from a symptomatic patient show small bowel obstruction from ileocecal intussusception. The rounded fat attenuation lead point (E, arrowhead) represents an ileal lipoma. Because of the presence of fat attenuation, CT is generally diagnostic for lipomas.
