Intracranial lipomas are rare lesions. Intracranial lipoma associated with a subcutaneous lipoma is extremely rare. Various vascular abnormalities have been described in association with intracranial lipoma, including distension, kinking, or narrowing of arteries and veins; arteriovenous malformation; and aneurysm. To our knowledge, association of sagittal sinus fenestration, falcine sinus, and...

Horse shoe shaped lipoma of the upper extremity is a very rare entity. We present a case of 45 years old female who presented with painless progressive swelling over the distal forearm and tingling and numbness over the ulnar nerve territory. MRI and surgical exploration showed a horse shoe shaped multilobulated lipoma encasing the distal ulna. The mass was excised in toto, and the sensory alte...

  Lipomas are the most common benign mesenchymal tumors. They are located either subcutaneously or under the investing fascia in intramuscular or intermuscular regions. The reported frequency of intramuscular lipomas among all benign adipocytic tumors is 1.0%–5.0% and for intermuscular lipomas is 0.3%–1.9%. The frequency of these lesions is the same in all age groups, but in adults deep seated-...

BACKGROUND Lipoma in nasal region in a case of Pai syndrome is very rare. Very few cases of Pai syndrome with columellar lipoma with extension to septum and tip have been reported till date. CASE PRESENTATION We report a very rare form of nasal lipoma in a case of Pai syndrome with extension to septum and tip in a 4 year old female child. CONCLUSIONS Pai syndrome with columellar lipoma with...

UNLABELLED Pleomorphic lipoma is a relatively uncommon entity, and is considered as a variant of spindle cell lipoma. Histologically, spindle cell lipoma/pleomorphic lipoma consists of varying quantity of mature fat, bland spindle cells and ropey collagen. In addition, pleomorphic lipoma is characterized by multinucleate giant cells, which possess the "floret-like" nuclei and marked pleomorphis...

Infiltrating lipoma is a rare variety of lipoma, characterized by an infiltration of the adipose tissue of the muscles. Infiltrating lipomas are usually classified in two groups: intermuscular infiltrating lipoma and intramuscular infiltrating lipoma. Most are acquired, and they usually appear in middle-aged individuals. Exceptionally, they are congenital. In such cases they are not related to ...

Lipoma of the cutaneous region is very common tumor. Most of cutaneous lipoma arises in the subcutaneous adipose tissue. When the tumor is composed exclusively mature lipocytes, the tumor is referred to as lipoma. When the tumor contains areas of capillary, it is called angiolipoma. When the tumor has rich fibrous tissue, it is called fibrolipoma. When the tumor consisted of spindle cells, it i...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/ bcr-2013-010025 DESCRIPTION A 44-year-old woman with headache was referred to our institution for further investigation. An MRI of the brain showed that linear hyperintense radiological appearances at the trace of the inferior sagittal sinus and the vein of Galen on T1-weigh...

Lipoma is a very common tumor developed in soft tissue like subepithelium, however, intraosseous lipoma developed inside the bone is a quite rare tumor showing less prevalence than 0.1% or 2.5% among primary tumors developed inside the bones. Intraosseous lipoma has been reported to occur usually in metaphyseal or epiphyseal regions of long bones such as femur, tibia, fibula, and calcaneus, but...
