Gastric lipomatosis is a rare disease characterized by multiple lipomas, benign tumors which can produce a variety of symptoms according to their size. In general, the disease is incidentally documented in imaging studies done to study other diseases. Pathological findings can contribute to the certainty of diagnosis. At the moment, there is no definite treatment for small, asymptomatic masses, but surgical resection is suggested for masses that are larger than 3 or 4 cm and for those that are symptomatic.

Keywords : Gastric neoplasms; gastrointestinal endoscopy; lipoma; tomography; histology.
