Abstract EN
We describe 3 cases of omental lipoma of whom 2 presented with symptomatic haemorrhage.
Notably the haemorrhage in the 2 reported cases was from foregut arteries.
Thorough knowledge of anatomy and embryology is critical in identifying the source of haemorrhage and differentiating this condition from other common causes of mesenteric haemorrhage.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case series reporting this uncommon cause for abdominal haemorrhage.
The successful management of this condition using superselective embolization is discussed.
Clinicians need to exercise diligence and caution in omental lipomas presenting with spontaneous haemorrhage and this notion is exemplified in our reported cases.
