Pelvic lipomatosis is a rare benign disease, associated with overgrowth of fat in the perivesical and perirectal area. It is of unknown etiology. We describe a 45-year-old male with pelvic lipomatosis causing bladder storage dysfunction symptoms and pelvic pain that affected his quality of life. Surgical excision of the pelvic mass with bladder preservation was performed. After surgery, the pat...

We report a case of thymic hyperplasia accompanied by pericardial lipomatosis and right facial hemihypertrophy in an 8-year-old boy. On imaging studies, the hyperplastic thymus had prominent curvilinear and nodular fatty areas simulating a fat-containing anterior mediastinal mass, which is an unusual finding in children. To our knowledge, this is the first report on a child with a combination o...

BACKGROUND Mediastinal widening is a common finding on chest radiograph, and can be caused by numerous conditions. Most of these diseases have grave prognosis if accompanied by chest pain, and require immediate attention. However, mediastinal lipomatosis is a very benign condition caused by deposition of adipose tissue in the mediastinum. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of a morbidly obes...

785 weighted sequences with a reduction of the nonhomogeneous internal signal sequences obtained with the suppression of the fat signal with modest and nuanced post-contrast enhancement. A preliminary diagnosis of multiple lipomatosis was taken. The procedure was performed under general anesthesia. A double surgical access was adopted: 1) the first, in the nuchal region, with enucleation en blo...

Retroperitoneal lipomatosis is a rare but distinct clinicopathological entity characterized by non encapsulated lipoma development in the retroperitoneum. Presenting complaints in the early stages are vague, and patients with retroperitoneal lipomatosis are often misdiagnosed because considerable abnormality is not detected by abdomino-pelvic sonography. However, because of the progressive natu...

INTRODUCTION Intestinal Lipomatosis consists of diffuse lipomas in various regions from the small to large bowel. They can remain asymptomatic or present with complications such as Intussusception. DISCUSSION Intestinal lipomatosis complicated by Intussusception is a rare occurrence that has not been well documented. Rare condition management is difficult to approach because of the customizab...

UNLABELLED Thyroid lipomatosis is a rare disease, as a total of 20 cases have been described in the literature. It is characterized by diffuse infiltration of the stroma by mature adipose tissue and by progressive growth that produces different degrees of compressive symptoms. Our aim is to present the case of a 36-year-old woman who consulted because of dyspnea caused by a multinodular goiter....

The first description of oral lipomas was made by Roux in 1848. He referred it as a ‘yellow Epulis’ [4]. Morphologically intra-oral lipomas can be classified as diffuse form affecting the deeper tissues, superficial form and encapsulated form [5]. Multiple head and neck lipomas have been observed in neurofibromatosis, Gardner syndrome, EcephaloCraniocutaneous lipomatosis, Multiple familial lipo...
