Infiltrating lipomas and angiolipomas revisited

[Angiolipomas and antiretroviral therapy].

In recent years, an association has been described between the use of protease inhibitors for antiretroviral therapy and the appearance of angiolipomas and lipomas, as well as with an increase in the number and size of those already present.1-3 A 40-year-old man consulted in 2005 for lesions that first appeared in 1998, and that had increased in number and size since then.

Lipomas are benign tumours, but infiltrative lipomas have significant health implications due to their aggressive infiltrative growth pattern. CASE PRESENTATION A calf was born with skeletal malformations and soft tissue proliferations, primarily on the external thoracic wall. The calf was euthanized for welfare reas...

MRI Features of Spinal Epidural Angiolipomas

OBJECTIVE To describe the MRI findings in ten patients of spinal epidural angiolipoma for differentiated diagnosis presurgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten surgically proved cases of spinal epidural angiolipomas were retrospectively reviewed, and the lesion was classified according to the MR findings. RESULTS Ten tumors were located in the superior (n = 4), middle (n = 2), or inferior (n = 4) ...

Two ileocecal valve lipomas

A 68-year-old woman presented with a 4-year unexplained intermittent abdominal pain recently complicated with rapidly transient obstruction episodes. Physical examination, plain radiograph and ultrasound of the abdomen were normal. At colonoscopy, a submucosal tumor (Fig. 1A) 0.5 cm in diameter prolapsing through the ileocecal valve was found. On removal of the tumor, after endoloop placement, ...
