Introduction: To evaluate feasibility and safety of a totally laparoscopic transgastric resection with concomitant sleeve gastrectomy in a morbidly obese presenting with benign lesion located along the lesser gastric curvature. Materials and Methods: We report the case of a morbidly obese patient with an incidental submucosal lesion of the lesser curvature radiologically consistent with fibrolipoma at preoperative work-up. Benign nature of the mass was then confirmed EUS-biopsy. Results: A combinated laparoscopic transgastric approach was successfully attempted resulting in a complete excision of the submucosal lesion and concomitant sleeve gastrectomy. Intraoperative and definitive histology confirmed the benign nature of the mass. Postoperative course was uneventful. Conclusion: Concomitant transgastric resection of submucosal benign lesions during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy represents both a safe and feasible surgical approach in morbidly obese patients. Preoperative work-up is of great importance in order to assess the benign nature of the lesion.
