Sažetak

Infiltrating lipoma is an uncommon mesenchymal neoplasm that characteristically infiltrates adjacent tissues. This type of lipoma is extremely rare in the stomach. Infiltrative lipomas have been reported in dogs, cats, horses, calves and humans. The present study describes the occurrence of an infiltrating lipoma with ulceration in the abomasum of a 6-month old lamb that was exposed accidentally. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the fi rst report of an infiltrative lipoma with ulceration in the pyloric region of this species. The mass was intramural and unmovable on palpation. Histopathologic examination revealed well differentiated adipocytes in submucosal layer of abomasums. Invasion of adipocytes had occurred in tunica muscularis. An infiltrative lipoma was diagnosed based on microscopic findings.
