The authors present a case of a highly atypical, possibly malignant, hibernoma. It presented as a deep-seated tumor in the retropharynx of a 57-year-old male. A review of possible similar cases is presented. The patient is without recurrence 4 years after complete excision and radiation therapy. The tumor must be differentiated from liposarcoma. The clinical potential must await the accumulation and observation of additional cases.

Colo-colic intussusception secondary to a giant lipoma: A case report.

Intussusception in adults is a rare condition often associated with a pathological lead point, which is frequently malignant but can occasionally be benign, such as colonic lipomas. We report the case of a 60-year-old male who presented with colicky abdominal pain, and a computed tomography (CT) revealed a colo-colic intussusception caused by a 6 cm lipoma in the transverse colon, accompanied by ischemic changes in the colonic mucosa. The patient underwent a right hemicolectomy, and histopathology confirmed the benign nature of the lesion.

Lipoma is a benign tumor that arises from mesenchymal cells and is considered relatively rare. Although lipomas can develop anywhere in the digestive tract, they are seldom found within the intestinal tract. Typically asymptomatic, colonic lipomas usually do not require treatment unless they result in symptoms that warrant surgical intervention.

Pleural thickening can be the result of inflammation or infection but can also have a neoplastic origin. Depending on the clinical context, a pleural lesion or mass is often initially suspected of malignancy. Benign pleural tumors are rare, and their appearance on ultrasound (US) is also described less frequently than pleural metastases or malignancies.

Rationale: Cerebellar pontine angle lipomas with trigeminal neuralgia are rare. The treatment choice is influenced by whether the pain is caused by the lipoma or the compression of blood vessels. Herein, we aimed to report a case of the disease and provide a reference for its treatment.

Background: Lipomas are benign tumors composed of encapsulated adipocytes. Although relatively common, uncertainty remains about the population-level prevalence, the etiology, and the degree of public interest in lipomas and associated removal procedures.
Objective: The spatiotemporal patterns of public interest in lipomas and lipoma removal procedures were characterized.
