INTRODUCTION Colo-colic intussusception is extremely rare in adults and few cases have been described secondary to a lypomatous polyp. CASE REPORT We present the case of a 50-year old man with chronic abdominal pain who was diagnosed a colo-colic intussusception secondary to a lipoma of the left colon. The patient underwent laparoscopic resection of the splenic flexure without reduction, whic...

BACKGROUND Intraosseous lipoma remains a poorly-characterized tumor. In paticular, the natural course of intracalcaneus lipoma after conservative treatment and the appropriate surgical modalities are still quite controversial. PATIENTS AND METHODS We reviewed six symptomatic patients who underwent curettage of intracalcaneus lipoma followed by grafting of α- or β-tricalcium phosphate. An endo...

Spindle cell lipoma, a rare variant of lipoma, is a benign tumor found in the posterior neck and shoulder. A 24-year-old man with a close family history of malignant lymphoma had presented with a large, firm, nodular mass found in the right supraclavicular area. Excision of the deeply located mass revealed a pale yellow, rubbery nodule which grossly resembled an enlarged lymph node, with a vari...

A 50-year-old female presented with more than 20-year history of a large subcutaneous mass in the left parieto-occipital portion. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed the lipomatous mass to show a high signal intensity in both T1- and T2-weighted images. A part of the lipomatous lesion progressed into the underlying hyperostosis and skull. The preoperative diagnosis was skull invasion of a ...

BACKGROUND In surgeries of closed calcaneal fractures, the lateral L-shaped incision is usually adopted. Undesirable post-operative healing of the incision is a common complication. In this retrospective study, controllable risk factors of incision complications after closed calcaneal fracture surgery through a lateral L-shaped incision are discussed and the effectiveness of clinical interventi...

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...
