ipomas are seen mainly during mid adulthood and represent the most common benign soft tissue tumors of this age group. Subcutaneous, most often asymptomatic, soft mobile masses are by far the most frequent manifestation and are known to arise typically from superficial areas of the trunk and proximal extremities. Conversely, deep-seated lipomas, such as the intramuscular lipoma, are relatively ...

This study describes the clinical features, radiological appearance, and treatment of 11 new cases of osseous lipoma and reviews 301 other cases in the literature. Osseous lipomas are classified by the site of origin: either within bone (intraosseous lipoma) or on the surface of bone (juxtacortical). Intraosseous lipomas include intramedullary and intracortical lesions. Surface lipomas include ...

and ascending colon, are asymptomatic, and need no treatment. However, lesions exceeding 2 cm in diameter may produce symptoms [1,2]. We report successful endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-assisted resection of a large ulcerated rectal lipoma presenting hematochezia. A 53-year-old woman presented with a 3month historyof intermittent hematochezia. Colonoscopic examination revealed a soft, approximatel...

INTRODUCTION Lipomas are among the most common tumors of the human body. However, they are uncommon in the oral cavity and are observed as slow growing, painless, and asymptomatic yellowish submucosal masses. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice and recurrence is not expected. CASE REPORT The case of a 30-year-old woman with a huge lipoma on the tip of her tongue since 3 years, is pre...

PATIENT Female, 32 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Intraosseous lipoma Symptoms: Swelling of the thigh Medication: - Clinical Procedure: Excision of the mass Specialty: Surgery. OBJECTIVE Rare disease. BACKGROUND Intraosseous lipomas happen to be one of rarest benign soft tissue tumors with only a little known about its etiology and pathophysiology. A pubmed search using key word "Intraosseous lipoma". Ca...

A 24-year-old woman presented with a 5-month history of a left flank mass that was painful on palpation. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 10.0 × 6.0 × 2.5 cm mass consistent with lipoma. A fatty lobulated mass was excised and subjected to H&E staining and immunohistochemical analyses. The specimen consisted of mature univacuolated adipocytic cells, with intermixed multivacuolated eosinophi...

A 73-year-old woman presented with intermittent abdominal pain and weight loss of 15 kg for 2 years. Colonoscopy revealed an erythematous polypoid tumor with a long and wide stalk in the cecum, but with air inflation, it abruptly went away through the ileocecal valve (ICV). An abdominal computed tomography showed a well-demarcated pedunculated subepithelial mass of 2.6×2.7 cm size with fat atte...

An 83-year-old woman presented with weakness in her right-hand and wrist extensors and swelling in the proximal part of the right forearm. Electromyography (EMG) confirmed involvement of posterior interosseous nerve at the level of proximal forearm. MR imaging demonstrated the characteristics of lipoma which extended on the anterolateral aspect of the right forearm and at the level of the radiu...

Lipomas are the most common type of nonepithelial benign tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. This is a report of a case of transverse colonic lipoma which presented with a misleading Gastroenteritis for which upper and lower endoscopies were done for recurrent and persistent symptoms and revealed tumor-like mass in the transverse colon for which transverse colectomy with primary anastamosis w...

Colonic lipoma, a very rare form of benign tumor, is typically detected incidentally in asymptomatic patients. The size of lipoma is reported variously from 2 mm to 30 cm, with higher likelihood of symptoms as the size is bigger. Cases with symptom or bigger lesion are surgically resected in principle; endoscopic resection, which has developed recently with groundbreaking advance of endoscopic ...
