# Endoscopic resection of a giant broad-based gastric lipoma in an adolescent: a case report and literature review

## TL;DR

A 17-year-old girl had a large stomach tumor successfully removed using a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure.

## Contribution

This is the first reported case of a giant gastric lipoma in an adolescent successfully treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection.

## Key findings

- A 17-year-old girl had a gastric lipoma larger than 8 cm successfully treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection.
- Minimally invasive therapy may be a viable alternative to surgery for giant gastric lipomas in rare cases.

## Abstract

Gastric lipomas are rare benign gastric tumors, with pediatric and adolescent cases being exceptionally uncommon. This report describes a case of a 17-year-old girl with a giant gastric lipoma (> 8 cm) and the first successfully treated via endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). This case demonstrates that minimally invasive therapy can serve as an alternative to surgery for giant gastric lipomas in rare clinical scenarios.
