BACKGROUND Lipoma is the most common benign tumour of the human body, being intraosseous involvement very rare. Just 1 to 4% of all cases of lipoma are located in the oral cavity, only 0.1% being intraosseous. The jaw is its most uncommon bone location. Etiology of intraosseous lipoma (IOL) is unknown, although several theories have been proposed. Usually asymptomatic, the symptoms, when presen...

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...

A broad search of the available literature yielded no other report of gastric lipoma of that size (13.5 x 6.5 x 4.5 cm) at this early age. The patient (a 20-year-old man with giant lipoma in the anterior gastric wall) presented with haematemesis and melena after excessive alcohol consumption. Gastric resection was performed. At 5-year follow up the patient is healthy and doing well. Epidemiolog...

The current case report describes an adult male with an intracortical lipoma accompanied by cystic changes in the tibial diaphysis. To the best of our knowledge, intracortical lipoma in an adult tibia has not been previously described. An anteroposterior radiograph of the tibia revealed an osteolytic lesion on the diaphysis. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography revealed that the l...

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...

We report a case of a 37-year-old Japanese female. She had a Tessier no. 8 craniofacial cleft and an orbital lipoma in the lateral canthal region. Excisional surgery and pathological examination revealed a genuine lipoma. No other case has been reported in the literature. Here, we present our case of a rare genuine lipoma located in lateral canthal region of the Tessier no. 8 cleft.

A 45-year-old Chinese man presented with recurrent bilateral knee swelling and pain. He was initially diagnosed with gouty arthritis, but later found to have lipoma arborescens. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated frond-like proliferations of fatty synovium. Arthroscopic synovectomy was performed. Histological examination of the specimen revealed villiform fatty tissue covered by slightly t...

Cardiac lipoma, which are primary cardiac tumors, are rare entities often detected incidentally during imaging. There have been very few reports on the right ventricle (RV) lipoma. Here, we present a case of RV infiltrating lipoma involving the interventricular septum (IVS) and the tricuspid valve. Clinical symptoms, diagnostic procedures, multimodality imaging characteristics, and treatment ar...

Lipoma is one of the most common benign soft tissue tumors. However, giant lipomas compressing and deforming neurovascular structure rarely occur in lateral neck. A 70-year-old man visited our outpatient clinic for treatment a visible painless neck mass that had been identified 2 years prior. Neck magnetic resonance imaging revealed 10 × 9 4 cm fatty located between sternocleidomastoid sternohy...

Introduction: Lipoma is the most common benign mesenchymal tumor of adipose tissue. Their occurrence in head and neck relatively rare. Lipomas region are rare tumors that usually present as slowly growing painless masses, found lateral portions neck. Case Report: Here, we report a case lipoma lying over right nape 26-year-old female. A pedunculated overgrowth was gradually progressive size with...
