Benign Gastric tumors are rare and generally account for less than 10% of all stomach tumors. Gastric lipoma is a rare tumor that constitutes approximately 3% of all benign tumors of the stomach and mainly is seen as a submucosal mass. Most gastric lipoma are asymptomatic and are found accidentally. Occasionally they can cause symptoms such as gastrointestinal bleeding, obstruction, abdominal p...

Lipoma is a relatively frequent, benign soft-tissue tumor rarely located in the hand. A lipoma of the hand causing a carpal tunnel syndrome by compression of the median nerve is exceptional. We report the case of a 70-year-old female presenting with a carpal tunnel syndrome. A compression of the median nerve by a lipoma was discovered during surgery. Transverse carpal ligament release with lipo...

Corticosteroid-induced lipomatosis is not a rare condition, but lipoma in the central veins has scarcely been described. According to the databases consulted, this is the first report of a lipoma within the central veins coexistent with long-term use of corticosteroid. It involved a 47-year-old male under treatment for pulmonary sarcoidosis with prednisone. Computerized tomography of the thorax...

Although lipoma is commonly found in soft tissues, the parotid gland lipoma is among the rarest benign primaiy tumors of the major salivary glands. The unilateral swelling of the parotid gland is not an uncommon clinical problem, however, lipoma as a cause of parotid gland enlargement seldom comes in mind as differential diagnosis. We have discussed the clinic pathological features of parotid g...

BACKGROUND Calcaneal fractures in children are rare injuries, and those with displaced intraarticular fracture patterns are found even less frequently. Recent data in the adult literature have suggested operative treatment of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures leads to a more favorable outcome. Most pediatric calcaneal fractures are due to low-energy trauma and are therefore minimally...

BACKGROUND Intraosseous lipoma is a rare benign bone tumor. Removal is required when there is pain or the lesion is large enough to lead to a pathological fracture. However, conventional surgery requires non-weight-bearing for at least 6 weeks. Here, we present a case with bilateral calcaneal intraosseous lipomas successfully treated by the use of endoscopically assisted curettage. CASE PRESE...

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 ...

Materials and Methods This is a prospective review of patients with displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures admitted to a Level 1 trauma centre under the care of a single primary trauma surgeon over a 1-year period from February 2010 to January 2011. A total of 9 patients with 11 closed calcaneal fractures were enrolled into the study. Only 1 calcaneal fracture per patient was treated. Sa...
