The lipohyperplasia of the ileocaecal valve is a condition of rare clinical observation mainly characterized by an abnormal accumulation of adipose tissue along the submucosal layer of the ileocaecal valve. This pathology presents an unspecific symptomatology that can make difficult the differential diagnosis with a local neoplastic process. Sometimes this pathology can be the cause of gastrointestinal bleeding of unknown origin. The Authors report a case of their observation that requested an emergency surgical operation for the massive digestive haemorrage at presentation. The definitive diagnosis could have been precised only after histological exam.
