Three clinical cases of endoscopic and traditional surgical treatment patients with a rare pathology – colon lipoma are presented. The diagnosis was established by colonoscopy biopsy histological examination. In one observation, the removed endoscopically, in two cases, open surgery. postoperative period uneventful, within 12–24 months, there no recurrence disease. presented show possibility ef...

BACKGROUND Involvement of adipose-derived stem/progenitor/stromal cells (ASCs) in the development of lipomas has been suggested, but the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of this tumour remain unclear. OBJECTIVES To analyse cellular and transcriptional characteristics of lipoma tissue compared with normal adipose tissue, further to delineate differentiating features. METHODS For lipoma or no...

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 ...

intracranial lipoma is an uncommon entity. a rare type of tumor in the internal auditory canal (iac) and the cerebellopontine angle (cpa) is lipoma. there are a few case reports in the literature related to intravestibular lipoma. herein, we report a case of lipomas within the cerebellopontine angle and vestibule of the inner ear in a patient with tinnitus and dizziness. the patient was evaluat...

lipoma is the most common soft tissue tumor but the presence of osseous component within the tumor is quite rare. some studies show that less than 1% of lipomas were ossified. we describe the histological, radiological and diagnostic features of an ossified intramuscular lipoma. to the best of the authors' knowledge, a symptomatic ossified intramuscular lipoma without any cortical erosion and h...

Infiltrating lipoma is an uncommon mesenchymal neoplasm that characteristically infiltrates adjacent tissues and tends to recur after excision. This type of lipoma is extremely rare in the head and neck region. We report a case of a giant infiltrating lipoma of the face, studied with CT and MR imaging.

objectives our objectives were to determine if: 1) imaging pattern at recurrence is associated with delayed diagnosis, and 2) appearance at recurrence can be predicted based on appearance at presentation. conclusion imaging appearance at baseline does not reliably predict imaging appearance at recurrence. therefore, a high index of suspicion for the infiltrative pattern is required in assessmen...

OBJECTIVES Lipomas are the second most common benign tumors of the small bowel, and most lipomas are asymptomatic. However, lipomas with diameters of >20 mm tend to be symptomatic, for example, to cause bleeding, obstructive jaundice, abdominal pain, intestinal obstruction, intussusception, and/or perforation. METHODS/RESULTS We report a case of massive gastrointestinal bleeding from a jejuna...
