RESUMO
We report a case of gastric lipoma which manifested with an episode of acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Preoperative diagnosis was based on the US, CT, and MRI findings, as the results of gastrointestinal endoscopy were inconclusive. The role of current imaging methods, and particularly of MRI, is discussed.

Two thousand five hundred and twenty cases of fibrocystic mastopathy (FCM) were chosen from a vast population of patients examined during the period from 1980 to 1989. The main clinical symptoms of FCM were assessed in relation to their evolution according to age and parity. Correlations were observed between the clinical symptoms examined and the age range of patients. Parity was also significantly correlated to clinical symptoms of FCM.
