Objectives: Lipomas are the second most common benign tumors of the small bowel, and most lipomas are asymptomatic. However, lipomas with diameters of >20 mm tend to be symptomatic, for example, to cause bleeding, obstructive jaundice, abdominal pain, intestinal obstruction, intussusception, and/or perforation. Methods/Results: We report a case of massive gastrointestinal bleeding from a jejunal lipoma combined with intussusception. A preoperative diagnosis of gastrointestinal bleeding derived from a jejunal lipoma combined with intussusception was made based on double-balloon enteroscopy and contrast-enhanced computed tomography, and partial resection of the small intestine was performed. After surgery, there was no additional gastrointestinal bleeding. Conclusion: There have only been a few reports about cases of jejunal lipoma involving simultaneous bleeding and intussusception. Double-balloon enteroscopy is useful for preoperatively diagnosing bleeding from a lipoma. Our case highlights that jejunal lipoma can cause massive unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding.
