Pedunculated hepatic hemangioma may be confused with pedunculated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in clinical practice because of their similar ultrasonographic pattern. We report two cases of asymptomatic pedunculated hepatic hemangioma. Both patients presented with intraabdominal masses of unknown nature measuring about 5 cm in diameter. Pedunculated HCC was suspected because of a pedicle 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...

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...

INTRODUCTION Hemangioma is the most common benign tumor of the liver. Most cases are asymptomatic and do not require treatment. A hemangioma can rarely be pedunculated; as a result, it may undergo torsion and infarction, which can make it symptomatic. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 45-year-old woman with acute abdominal pain due to torsion of a giant pedunculated hepatic hemangioma...

Introduction Lipomas are common benign soft tissue neoplasms composed of mature white adipocytes. They are the most common soft tissue mesenchymal neoplasms. However, they are relatively uncommon in the oral and maxillofacial regions. Their overall incidence in the oral cavity is thought to be between 1% and 4% of all benign oral lesions. Specific anatomic locations within the oral and maxillof...

A 78-year-old woman who had recurrent right lower abdominal pain for about 1 year underwent computed tomography (CT) because of a follow-up observation 1 year after right breast cancer surgery. CT revealed a tumor in the colon. The patient was referred to our hospital for detailed examinations.

dichorionic triamniotic pregnancy. A caesarean section was performed at 34 weeks of gestation. The Apgar score was 9/10, weight 2425 g and physical examination revealed a congenital malformation in the perianal region with 13.8 mm of greater axis, spherical pedunculated and soft, with a cylindrical 5 mm form attached, similar to an accessory penis and scrotum (figure 1). The neonate underwent a...
