Abstract
We know that, lipoma, a mesenchymal originated benign tumor which can occur in any part of the gastrointestinal tract. Lipoma is one of the mesenchymal tumors rarely encountered in pancreas. Pancreatic lipomas are usually asymptomatic. When lipomas exceeding 2cm, or on the tip of pancreas may cause gastrointestinal symptoms. The most reliable method to distinguish lipoma from good differentiated liposarcoma on computed tomography scan is homogeneous lipoid attenuation. In this case report we present a patient with the complaint of abdominal pain and diagnosed with computed tomography as pancreatic lipoma.
