[Relapsing lipomatosis of the ileocolic junction after surgery (author's transl)]. 1979

L Kelch, and J Adlung

A 58 year old women had massive hemorrhage from ulcers originating from lipomatosis of the ileocecal valve. The tumor and part of the intestine were removed by ample surgical resection and ileo-ascendostomy was performed. The patient relapsed 11 months later with hemorrhage and lipomatosis adjacent to the anastomosis established surgically 11 months before. This case report demonstrates that lipomatosis does not only occur at the ileocecal valve but as well at junctions established artificially between ileum and colon. The reasons for this latter event are unknown.
