BACKGROUND Lipomas are common benign soft tissue neoplasms but they are found very rarely in the deep lobe of parotid gland. Surgical intervention in these tumors is challenging because of the proximity of the facial nerve, and thus knowledge of the anatomy and meticulous surgical technique are essential. CASE PRESENTATION A 71-year-old female presented with a large asymptomatic mass, which h...

INTRODUCTION The term ectopic thyroid refers to the presence of thyroid tissue located far from its usual anatomic placement and with no vascular connection to the main gland. The presence of swelling in atypical locations is diagnostically differentiated from other pathologies like pleomorphic adenoma or carcinoma, inflammatory lesions like sialadenitis, neurogenic tumors, paraganglioma, fibro...

Lipoma is the most common benign tumour which occurs anywhere in the body where adipose tissue is present which is asymptomatic, slow growing and painless. The lipoma consists of mature adipose tissue and occurs commonly in region of back, shoulder and nape of neck. Adipose tissue also exists in the parotid gland, but lipoma of the parotid gland is rare entity. The incidence of this entity has ...

Objective. Balloon enteroscopy (BE) and capsule enteroscopy (CE) are enteroscopy methods that allow examination and treatment of the small bowel. Before the CE and BE era, the small intestine was difficult to access for investigation. Small intestinal tumours are infrequent conditions, but about half of them are malignant. Materials and Methods. A total of 303 BEs were performed in 179 patients...

neoplastic soft tissue masses. Although it contains a relatively small amount of somatic soft tissue elements, the foot is rich in tendons, fasciae, retinaculae, and synovium (1). In the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology series[LKH1], 8% of benign soft-tissue tumors and 5% of malignant soft-tissue tumors occurred in the foot and ankle, suggesting an unexpectedly high incidence on a tissue vol...

OBJECTIVE The relative utility of various preoperative diagnostic imaging modalities, including PET (utilizing FDG and FMT), CT, and MR imaging, for evaluation of lipoma and liposarcoma, especially well-differentiated liposarcoma, was investigated. METHODS Imaging findings in 32 patients with histopathologically documented lipoma, including one with fibrolipoma and one with angiolipoma, and 2...
