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...

Pedunculated lipomas arising from the peritoneal wall are a rare finding during abdominal surgery. These benign tumours of mesenchymal origin can arise anywhere in the body and are usually asymptomatic. We present a case of a torted, pedunculated parietal wall lipoma in the right iliac fossa that gave rise to a clinical diagnosis of appendicitis. To our knowledge, such a case has never been rep...

 ABSTRACT A long pedunculated egg-shaped lipoma of the sacrum in a newborn infant, presenting as a tail, was treated surgically. Occult spinal dysraphism may be accompanied with this entity. Investigations for underlying dysraphism and its treatment are mandatory.

Esophageal lipomas are benign tumors representing less than 0.5% of all gastrointestinal lipomas. They are typically detected incidentally but occasionally present with local symptoms and rarely with life-threatening complications. We describe a case of a 60-year-old man with progressive dysphagia and weight loss, who presented with several episodes of near asphyxiation secondary to regurgitati...

A 70-year-old woman was hospitalized for dyspnea and chest pain. After radiological examinations and bronchoscopy, she was diagnosed with a stage IVsmall-cell carcinoma of the lung. Collaterally, chest CT showed an hypodense pleural sessile mass, with smooth, well defined borders and homogeneous fat attenuation of approximately –100 HU; it showed no enhancement after intravenous contrast materi...

Pedunculated subcutaneous lipoma in the popliteal fossa extending through the superficial fascia causing chronic irritant dermatitis of the adjacent skin with "psoriatic-like" plaque. To the author's knowledge, no similar case has been reported in the literature.

fewer than 15% of lipomas occur in the head and neck. lipomas of the larynx are very rare benign laryngeal tumors (0.6%). to date less than 100 case of laryngeal lipoma have been reported in the literature.clinical manifestation include progressive horseness, dyspnea, and even dysphagia. in the direct exam smooth or pedunculated mass is seen in the larynx and sometimes if tumor is large enough ...
