A Case of Incıdentally Diagnosed Giant Lipoma
Journal Title: Meandros Medical and Dental Journal - Year 2019, Vol 20, Issue 3
Abstract
All over the world, emergency services (ESs) are departments where services are offered to patients non-stop. The obligation to offer fast, proper and nonstop service to patients who are admitted to ESs sets the ES apart from other departments. ESs usually serve many patients with varying complaints. Abdominal pain is the leading cause of ES admissions and forms 5-8% of all ES admissions. Abdominal pain is a symptom that may develop due to traumatic and non-traumatic reasons and arises during the course of illnesses related to intra-abdominal or extra-abdominal organs. Since there are many causes of acute abdominal pain, a systematic approach is needed in order to narrow down the definitive diagnoses. By presenting the case of an incidentally diagnosed giant lipoma in a patient admitted to the ES with a complaint of abdominal pain, we wanted to underline that ESs are clinics that are full of interesting patients and surprises. Very different diseases that are outside the admission complaints of patients can be diagnosed at ES departments.
