A rare case of duodenal spindle cell lipoma with gastrointestinal bleeding.

The manuscript reports a rare case of duodenal spindle cell lipoma (SCL), which is a rarely reported benign lipomatous neoplasm of the gastrointestinal tract. It is less commonly observed within the duodenum. Our patient presented with gastrointestinal bleeding, which is a rare symptom of lipomas. This report describes the appearance of the neoplasm on endoscopy as well as endoscopic ultrasonography. The ulcer on the surface of the neoplasm is another rare feature. The correct diagnosis of SCL was based on its microscopic features and immunohistochemical findings. We believe that our study makes a significant contribution to the literature because this information will be of practical use to clinicians for the management of similar conditions and encourage other researchers to validate our findings.
