“…Another diagnostic sign is the ‘naked fat’ sign, which refers to exposed adipose tissue on the surface of the lipoma that protudes through the normal overlying mucosa after multiple biopsies of the normal mucosa are performed. Yoshida et al 16 have reported using electrocautery to produce a small overlying area of ulceration that can be biopsied to reveal the lipoma on repeat endoscopic examination a few days later. Usually, on barium studies, extra mucosal tumours including lipomas reveal a smooth filling defect with a ‘bull's eye’ appearance that is indistinguishable from other mesenchymal tumours 3.…”

Gastric lipomas are rare tumours accounting for 2-3% of all benign gastric tumours. These are usually submucosal in origin but in rare cases may be subserosal in origin. Although a majority of gastric lipomas are asymptomatic and usually detected incidentally, occasionally these can cause abdominal pain, dyspeptic disorders, obstruction, invagination and haemorrhages. In the literature, only 200 cases of gastric lipomas have been reported so far. We report a case of a 56-year-old female with a submucosal symptomatic gastric lipoma presenting with disabling dyspeptic symptoms.
