Abstract

Angiolipoma is a common benign neoplasm of subcutaneous tissues and it is rarely located in the gastrointestinal tract. We report an 86-year-old woman with ileal angiolipoma having the symptoms of intermittent subileus without any significant laboratory findings. We focus on the correct pre- and postoperative diagnosis of this rare entity at this rare localization.
