Retropharyngeal Spindle Cell/Pleomorphic Lipoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spindle cell/pleomorphic lipoma is an uncommon benign adipose tissue tumor most frequently arising from the subcutaneous tissue of the back, shoulder, head and neck, and extremities. The deep cervical spaces are the rarely affected locations. Herein we report on the imaging findings of spindle cell/pleomorphic lipoma involving the retropharyngeal space in an elderly woman.

RE: "Fat-Free" Spindle Cell Lipoma in Retropharynx
Dear Editor, We read with interest by Lee et al. (1) about “Retropharyngeal Spindle Cell/Pleomorphic Lipoma”, published in the May/June issue of the 2013 Korean Journal of Radiology. We would like to report a distinct radiologic presentation of a “fat-free” retropharyngeal spindle cell lipoma on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Our patient was a 54-year-old woman who presented with dysphagia an...
متن کاملA case of ‘fat-free’ pleomorphic lipoma occurring in the upper back and axilla simultaneously
Pleomorphic lipoma is a rare neoplasm that predominantly occurs in the dermis or subcutis of the posterior neck, upper back, and shoulders. Although pleomorphic lipoma is a benign tumor, it may contain atypical cells. As a variant of spindle cell lipoma, pleomorphic lipoma clinically presents as a slow-growing and well-circumscribed subcutaneous mass. Rarely, some patients have multiple lesions...
متن کاملPleomorphic lipoma lacking mature fat component in extensive myxoid stroma: a great diagnostic challenge
UNLABELLED Pleomorphic lipoma is a relatively uncommon entity, and is considered as a variant of spindle cell lipoma. Histologically, spindle cell lipoma/pleomorphic lipoma consists of varying quantity of mature fat, bland spindle cells and ropey collagen. In addition, pleomorphic lipoma is characterized by multinucleate giant cells, which possess the "floret-like" nuclei and marked pleomorphis...
متن کامل“Low-Fat” Pseudoangiomatous Spindle Cell Lipoma: A Rare Variant With Loss of 13q14 Region
Spindle cell and pleomorphic lipoma constitute a spectrum of lipomatous lesions with characteristic clinical, morphologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular features. Multiple variants have been previously described including vascular, fibrous, plexiform, and those with significantly less fat termed "low-fat" and "fat-free" by Folpe. Cytogenetically, spindle cell lipomas frequently display mon...
متن کاملIntramuscular lipoma of the tongue: A rare site for a common tumour
Lipomas are mesenchymal tumors of the adipose tissue described in various sites including the oral cavity but rarely the tongue. Based on the clinical appearance, color, consistency, invasion, oral lipomas, may be simple, angiolipoma, intra/inter muscular (infiltrating), lipoblastoma, spindle cell, pleomorphic, myxoid and atypical lipomas but 80% of these are classical lipomas and may cause fun...
