AB  - We present a case of duodenal lipoma in a 53-year-old lady causing symptoms of vomiting and abdominal discomfort, treated by laparoscopic enucleation. Lipomas of the duodenum are rare tumors with less than 230 cases reported in the literature, most of these are from autopsy records rather than clinical experience. Most recent reports are of endoscopic excision of these tumors while operative procedures, although less frequent, have been described for specific indications. We present a case of a duodenal lipoma excised laparoscopically with a review of the literature.
