Sternocleidomastoid intramuscular lipoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lipoma is the most common benign soft tissue tumour with most located in the superficial subcutaneous plane. However, some are located in the deeper plane. Location in the head and neck regions are less common compared to the other parts of the body. Deep seated lipomas are either inter-muscular or intramuscular. We present a case of a simple subcutaneous neck lipoma in a 60-year-old Malay man which turned out to be an intramuscular sternocleidomastoid lipoma.

Well-circumscribed intramuscular lipoma of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
Intramuscular lipomas are unusual benign mesenchymal tumours, which infiltrate the skeletal muscle, and are exceedingly rare in the head and neck region. They commonly infiltrate the skeletal muscle fibres from which they arise and are rarely well circumscribed. We present the only documented case of well-circumscribed intramuscular lipoma arising from the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Although t...
متن کاملAn Intramuscular Lipoma Developing within an Anomalous Cleido-Occipitalis Cervicalis Muscle
An anomalous cleido-occipitalis muscle is an uncommon muscular variant in the posterior triangle that may be unilateral or bilateral. Its reported incidence varies widely between 4% and 33% [1-3]. Embryologically, this muscle originates from a common mixed premuscle mass in the occipital region caudal to the last brachial arch, which normally divides into ventral and dorsal components forming t...
متن کاملIntramuscular Lipoma of the Thenar: A Rare Case
Lipomas are the most common benign mesenchymal tumors. They are located either subcutaneously or under the investing fascia in intramuscular or intermuscular regions. The reported frequency of intramuscular lipomas among all benign adipocytic tumors is 1.0%–5.0% and for intermuscular lipomas is 0.3%–1.9%. The frequency of these lesions is the same in all age groups, but in adults deep seated-...

To the Editor Lipomas are common benign soft tissue neoplasms of mature adipose tissue. The peak incidence is usually in the fifth or sixth decade of life, while occurrence in children is very uncommo. Multiple presentations may occur in about 5% patients [1]. The tumors may or encapsulated may not be. In a review of more than 1000 benign tumors of adipose tissue, over 80% were ordinary lipomas...

INTRODUCTION Spindle cell lipoma is an uncommon adipocytic tumor. Intramuscular lesions of this tumor are very rare. In this report, we describe a case of a patient with intramuscular spindle cell lipoma localized in a deltoid. CASE PRESENTATION A 58-year-old Japanese man visited us because of a soft tissue mass on the lateral aspect of the left shoulder that had been noticed 2 years prior. T...
