摘要
Mesenteric lipoma is a rare benign neoplastic condition that can grow to be very large and mimic other midgut fatty tumors. These benign tumors can cause various gastrointestinal symptoms such as obstruction and abdominal pain. We report the case of a 9-year-old boy who presented with a small bowel obstruction caused by torsion of a large mesenteric lipoma. This is an important but unusual tumor and should be considered in the differential of fatty lesions within the mesentery.
