Introduction

Lipoma is a rare benign lesion of mature adipose tissue and commonly occur in the cephalic part of the body (1,2). Its localization in the mesentery is extremely rare (1). Few cases of mesenteric lipomas have been reported in the literature (2).The course is usually asymptomatic and the clinical findings depend on the size of the lipoma, its location and the rapidity of growth of the tumor (1). We report a case of mesenteric lipoma revealed by chronic abdominal pain along with a litterature review regarding this rare condition.
