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...

Intussusception in adults is a rare condition, in contrast to paediatric intussusception where the majority of cases are idiopathic, ∼90% of adult cases have identifiable aetiology. The clinical presentation is often non-specific abdominal pain. We report the case of a 49-year-old gentleman who presented to our emergency department with a 10-day history of colicky abdominal pain. Computed tomog...

BACKGROUND Lipoma in nasal region in a case of Pai syndrome is very rare. Very few cases of Pai syndrome with columellar lipoma with extension to septum and tip have been reported till date. CASE PRESENTATION We report a very rare form of nasal lipoma in a case of Pai syndrome with extension to septum and tip in a 4 year old female child. CONCLUSIONS Pai syndrome with columellar lipoma with...

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...

A colon lipoma is a remarkably rare tumor. In most cases, the tumors are asymptomatic and small in size, need to be differentiated from malignant tumors, and do not need any special treatment. Selection of the right surgical strategy depends on the status of bowel, as well as the size and the location of tumor. We encountered two patients with giant submucosal lipomas that had induced intussusc...

A 48-year-old man presented with colicky abdominal pain of 2 days’ duration associated with constipation, but no nausea or vomiting. His past medical history was significant for recurrent attacks of constipation. His abdomen was distended and tender, without rebound tenderness. Abdominal obstructive series radiographs showed air fluid levels. An abdominal CT showed a 4 x 4.5 cm transverse colon...

Lipoma is a very common tumor developed in soft tissue like subepithelium, however, intraosseous lipoma developed inside the bone is a quite rare tumor showing less prevalence than 0.1% or 2.5% among primary tumors developed inside the bones. Intraosseous lipoma has been reported to occur usually in metaphyseal or epiphyseal regions of long bones such as femur, tibia, fibula, and calcaneus, but...

Spindle cell lipoma is a relatively rare adipocytic neoplasm, which usually occurs in the posterior neck, shoulder or upper back of male patients aged 45-65 years. We report here an unusual coexistence of ordinary and spindle cell lipoma. The patient presented with a painless mass in the area of the right scapula. Imaging was suggestive of a lipomatous mass, possibly liposarcoma. Histological e...
