We analyze ultrasound in delineating depth of forehead lipomas. METHODS A retrospective review was performed for all patients who underwent excision of forehead lipomas between January 2008 and March 2013 and for who...

Endoscopic resection of forehead lipoma: A subperiosteal single-portal approach
