Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Vermian Lipoma

Conchal Lipoma: A New Lipoma Site.

Lipomas, the most common benign tumors, rarely originate from the external ear. The first case of a lipoma originating from the concha of the auricle was reported and described in the current study. It was successfully removed under local anesthesia. This directs the attention of surgeons toward lipomas as a cause of conchal mass because the early diagnosis of a lipoma when it is still small al...

Giant Submucosal Lipoma of Sigmoid Colon

  Lipomas of the gasterointestinal Tract are relatively uncommon in clinical practice. Most cases are asymptomatic with small tumor size and do not need any special treatment but the large ones are known to cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, obstruction, intussusceptions, and bleeding. The majority (90%) of these lesions are submucosal with predominantly right sided with a slight preponder...

Bladder lipoma.

A 61-year-old woman presented with urgency and urge incontinence at least a few times a week for 2 years. Detrol and VESIcare were taken sequentially without significant benefit. Laboratory studies revealed microscopic hematuria (15 to 25 red blood cells per high power field), and negative urine culture and cytology. Cystoscopy showed several nodular-like extrinsic masses projecting into the an...

Cardiac lipoma

Lipomas of the heart are encapsulated tumors that are composed primarily of mature fat cells. Cardiac lipomas can originate either from subendocardium (approximately 50%), subpericardium (25%), or from the myocardium (25%) and may be located more frequently in left ventricle or right atrium. We report a 74-year-old female who presented with dyspnea on exertion and was found to have 5×5 cm mass ...
