Resumo(s)
Duodenal angiolipoma is a rare adipocytic tumor, with non-specific symptoms precluding an early diagnosis. We present a case of a 67-year-old female admitted due to upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The upper endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound evaluation showed a subepithelial lesion in the third portion of the duodenum. Endoscopic excision was performed using a standard polypectomy technique after endoloop placement. Histopathology was compatible with duodenal angiolipoma. The authors highlight duodenal angiolipoma as a rare adipocytic tumor potentially causing gastrointestinal bleeding, which can be safely treated with endoscopic excision.
