Abstract

Lipomas of the digestive tract are rare and may give rise to obstruction, intussusception or haemorrhage. In a 74-year old woman with Von Willebrand's disease, a lipoma in the ileocaecal valve caused frequent intestinal haemorrhages and chronic anaemia over a period of more than 15 years. Diagnosis and therapy are discussed on the basis of the case history.
