Abstract
A 61-year-old woman visited our hospital because of epigastric discomfort. X-ray and endoscopic examination revealed submucosal tumor in the lower part of the gastric body. Gastrectomy was performed and histological examination revealed a lipoma in the submucosal layer.
Gastric lipoma is a rare submucosal tumor. It is difficult to differentiate the submucosal lipoma from the other tumors such as cyst or myogenic tumor
