Early pathologic reports of corpus callosal lipoma described a consistent relationship between the lipoma and the dorsal surface of the corpus callosum, particularly when the lipoma is not associated with corpus callosal agenesis. MR imaging, especially T1-weighted sagittal acquisitions, exquisitely demonstrated this anatomic relationship in three relatively asymptomatic patients. Therefore, in...

colonic lipoma is a benign neoplasm that can lead to colonic obstruction but concomitant intussusception is rare in adults. in this case, colocolic intussusception due to a lipoma in the descending colon had occurred. by laparatomy, we diagnosed the problem , but reduction was impossible . so resection of the colon with mass was done and anastomosed. after surgery and 3 years follow up the pati...

Spindle cell lipoma is a rare lipoma, originates from subcutaneous tissue and mostly seen at back region. In this case report we represent a case with inguinal mass misdiagnosed as inguinal hernia and then diagnosed as spindle cell lipoma. There are two cases in literature with spindle cell lipoma originating from spermatic cord. This case is unique as having both pheochromacytoma and inguinal ...

a young patient who presented with headache followed by positive and negative symptoms of psychosis and mutism was sent for the mri of brain. mri revealed a lipoma in the quardrigeminal area. we hypothesized that the neuro-vascular encasement of structures located at the upper dorsal midbrain by the lipoma caused the symptoms. a review of the current literature of quadrigeminal lipoma cases wit...

Pleomorphic lipoma is a rare neoplasm that predominantly occurs in the dermis or subcutis of the posterior neck, upper back, and shoulders. Although pleomorphic lipoma is a benign tumor, it may contain atypical cells. As a variant of spindle cell lipoma, pleomorphic lipoma clinically presents as a slow-growing and well-circumscribed subcutaneous mass. Rarely, some patients have multiple lesions...

Colonic intussusception is a rare complication of colonic lipoma. This study presents an unusualcase symptomatic lipoma the transverse colon, causing andlower gastrointestinal hemorrhage. A 53 year-old female was admitted to Bushenge ProvincialHospital, Rwanda, with episodes intermittent pain, vomiting, and bloody mucoid stool. Physicalexamination revealed distended abdomen, tenderness mucous f...

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...
