Article Synopsis
- - Intramuscular lipomas are benign growths found in muscle tissue, most commonly seen in individuals aged 40-70, with giant lipomas defined as those larger than 5 cm, often occurring in the thigh but rarely in the trapezius muscle.
- - A case was reported involving a 40-year-old male with a 2-year history of a painless tumor in the trapezius that was successfully diagnosed as a giant intramuscular lipoma via MRI and surgically removed without complications.
- - Despite being slow-growing, intramuscular lipomas can mimic other conditions and may cause discomfort; hence, MRI is essential for accurate diagnosis, and further studies are necessary to understand their prevalence, especially in rare locations
Background: A synovial cyst is a herniation of synovial tissue through a joint capsule, often mistaken for a ganglion cyst. The key distinctions are that synovial cysts have a synovial cell lining, while a ganglion cyst is delineated by dense fibrous connective tissue. Typically found near joints, synovial cysts are associated with conditions like osteoarthritis, prevalent in females aged 20 to 50.

Accordingly, investigators sought to assess wound re-epithelialization in patients with second-degree burns after adding pirfenidone to usual care.
