A 40-mm yellowish pedunculated tumor was detected in the jejunum (Figure 1(a)). The tumor's surface was villous, exhibited edema-like swelling, and contained an oval ulcer (Figure 1(b)). Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed that the tumor was a round fat-containing mass (Figure 1(c), red arrow), which suggested that intussusception had occurred at the top of the tumor (Figure 1(c), white arrow).
(a) The tumor measured 40 mm in diameter. The red arrow shows that the mucosa overlying the tumor had ulcerated. (b) A pathological examination showed mature fat cells and resulted in a diagnosis of lipoma.

Furthermore, the mucosa overlying the tumor was ulcerated (Figure 2(a), red arrow). A pathological examination showed mature fat cells (Figure 2(b)) and confirmed the diagnosis of an ulcerated jejunal lipoma.
