Lipoma is rare in the planter aspect of the toes, and only few cases of massive lipoma have been reported in this site. The differential diagnosis of masses in the foot and toes is wide, and clinical diagnosis may be challenging. Access to magnetic resonance imaging, a standard diagnostic investigation for such soft tissue masses of the foot and toes, may be limited in some practice, requiring ...

BACKGROUND Cardiac Lipoma is a rare entity constituting approximately 10-19 % of primary tumors of the heart and pericardium. To our best knowledge, such a large cardiac lipoma with septal enhancement in our case has never been reported before. CASE PRESENTATION Here we present a rare case of a 65-year-old symptomatic female with an unusual giant cardiac lipoma. Due to the enhancement of the ...

We present two cases of a very rare tumor, intracranial lipoma, diagnosed by computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In one case, the lipoma was in the superior cerebellar cistern, the other was in the periphery of the corpus callosum. In the case in which MRI was used, identification of the lipoma using a routine MRI examination was difficult. These cases are reported no...

BACKGROUND Intussusception is a relatively common cause of intestinal obstruction in children but a rare clinical entity in adults, representing fewer than 1% of intestinal obstructions in this patient population. Colonic lipomas are uncommon nonepithelial neoplasms that are typically sessile, asymptomatic and incidentally found during endoscopy, surgery, or autopsy. CASE PRESENTATION A 55-ye...

Primary cardiac tumors are rarest form of cancer and the lipoma represent about 8% of these tumors. Cowden disease is a rare autosomal dominant disorder, associated to a germline mutation of the PTEN gene, characterized by multiple hamartomas and an increased risk of breast, thyroid and endometrial carcinomas. For the first time, we describe a right atrial lipoma in a patient affected by Cowden...

Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord is a rare disease and often mistakenly diagnosed as inguinal hernia, hydrocele, and lipoma. We report the case of a 58-year-old man who presented with persistent discomfort and swelling on the left inguinal region. He was diagnosed with left scrotum lipoma when he was 12 years old. He underwent high orchiectomy and wide resection of the inguinal tumor. Histopat...

Intraosseous lipoma, a rare primary benign tumor of the skeleton, is most commonly found in the calcaneus. It may contain homogenous fat, but it may also contain necrosis, calcification, or ossification. It usually does not show contrast enhancement, but there is an interface enhancement between the outer fat plan and the inner fluid part. Herein, we present an unusual 22-year-old male case of ...

A young man of about 24 years of age was admitted into the Seoni Main Hospital on 21st March, 1925, with a tumour about the size of a cocoanut situated in the right parotid and submaxillary regions. On palpation the tumour felt loculated and each loculus gave a fluctuating feeling. The differential diagnosis apparently rested between the following:? (1) Lipoma. (2) Cystic degeneration of endoth...

The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of varying running shoe midsole composition on lower extremity dynamics with and without a custom foot orthotic intervention. Three-dimensional dynamics were collected on 12 female runners who had completed 6 weeks of custom foot orthotic therapy. Participants completed running trials in 3 running shoe midsole conditions-with and without a ...
