Department of Surgery, School of medicine, Debre Markos University, 269, Ethiopia.
Introduction: Lipomas are benign tumors primarily composed of adipose tissue, typically found in subcutaneous or intramuscular sites across the body. While lipomas in the hand are uncommon, their occurrence in both thenar and hypothenar eminences is exceedingly rare.
Case Presentation: In this case, 65-year-old female admitted to hospital with a ten-year history of progressive swelling in the palmar aspect of her right hand, resulting in limited finger movement.
Giant periscapular lipoma unmasked by post-bariatric surgery weight loss: a case report.

Giant lipomas, rare benign tumours composed of mature adipose tissue, represent only 1% of all lipomas, typically exceeding 10 cm in diameter or weighing over 1000 g. These tumours can cause nerve compression, discomfort, or functional impairment, necessitating surgical excision. We report a 52-year-old male with a giant intramuscular lipoma in the periscapular region, initially identified following significant weight loss after bariatric surgery.

Intramuscular lipomas (IMLs) are rare benign tumors that arise when lipomas infiltrate muscle tissue. These tumors are most commonly found in the large muscles of the limbs and trunk, particularly in the thigh, shoulder, and upper arm. IMLs often present as painless masses but can cause pain, muscle dysfunction, and neurological deficits as they grow and invade surrounding structures.

The fibroadipose vascular anomaly (FAVA) is a relatively unknown vascular anomaly in the realm of adult dermatopathology. Despite its intramuscular location, dermatologists often encounter cases, approaching them surgically under the presumption of a potential lipoma. This entity was first described in 2014, and consequently, many FAVA cases may be concealed in our archives under diagnoses of other entities that require differential diagnoses, such as intramuscular fast-flow vascular anomaly.

- - 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
