Digestive Problems
A lipoma could form in the intestinal tract and may cause digestive problems. The vast majority present no symptoms, but larger ones can cause blockages or be mistaken for malignant tumors.
Signs of lipoma in the gut can include watery diarrhea, constipation, bloody stools and discomfort. In most cases, however, the region will be soft to the touch. There may also be complications affecting other organs, such as the liver, spleen and gallbladder.4Agrawal, Amit, and K J Singh. Symptomatic Intestinal Lipomas: Our Experience.
