A case of liposarcoma in a giant pedunculated lipoma of the esophagus in a 49-year-old Korean woman who presented intermittent swallowing difficulty for 3 years is reported. Endoscopy and esophagography revealed that a giant smooth longitudinal tumor mass almost entirely occupied the esophageal lumen. A total esohagectomy was done. The tumor was 20 cm in length and 7 cm in average diameter with...

INTRODUCTION Lipoma is the most frequent benign tumor of the soft tissue. This lesion is often asymptomatic except in cases of enormous masses compressing nervous-vascular structures. Although the diagnosis is mostly clinical, imaging tools are useful to confirm the adipose nature of the lesion and to define its anatomic border. Sometimes, lipomas may be the result of a previous trauma, such as...

A case of a giant spermatic cord lipoma, discovered incidentally at the time of surgical exploration of the scrotum, is discussed.

Abstract Background Giant cervico-parotid lipomas are rare entities. This is why we report in this article a case of giant cervical lipoma extending to the parotid region. Case presentation 34-year-old patient with no particular history (no trauma, medication, irradiation, similar cases family), presenting cervicoparotidal without signs compression. The treatment was surgical. follow-up did not...

Intramuscular lipoma is rare benign tumour rarely located in the head and neck region. It arises between muscle fibres passes through intermuscular septa. Due to infiltrative nature of tumour, recurrence rate higher than other subcutaneous lipomas. Complete surgical excision often regarded as a definitive treatment modality longterm follow-up mandatory. Here we report case 49-year-old male pres...

Colonic lipomas are uncommon nonepithelial neoplasms that are typically sessile, asymptomatic and incidentally found during endoscopy, surgery, or autopsy. We present a very rare case of a 34-year-old female patient with symptomatic pedunculated cecal lipoma causing intermittent colo-colonic intussusception. Despite adequate imaging studies, definite preoperative diagnosis was not established a...

A 58-year-old Chinese woman presented with deranged liver function tests, which was discovered incidentally during surveillance for statins therapy. Ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed a large lipoma originating from the greater omentum, which was treated with surgical resection. This case is reported due to the rare occurrence of omental lipomas.
