A massive cardiac lipoma in the right atrium with multimodality imaging.

We report the noninvasive imaging diagnosis of a massive right atrial lipoma in a young male patient. Echocardiography and myocardial contrast echocardiography were used to assess echo intensity, tumor size, anatomic boundary, hemodynamics, and contrast agent perfusion. Dual-source CT revealed that the CT value of the tumor was fat density.

The ileocecal valve in transabdominal ultrasound. Part 2: Pathological lesions.

The aim of this paper is to present our experience in transabdominal ultrasonography of ileocecal valve lesions. The ileocecal valve, located in the central part of the ileocecal bowel segment, is rarely the primary site of disease processes. It is usually involved by pathologies in adjacent bowel segments.

The Fatty Dilemma: A Rare Instance of Extra- and Intravascular Lipoma of the Brachiocephalic Vein.

Oftentimes, incidental findings are made on routine diagnostic imaging. An intra- and extravascular lipoma is one example of an important incidental finding. Intravascular lipomas are rare benign vascular tumors that are typically asymptomatic.

Unusual Presentations of Intramuscular Lipoma: A Case Series.

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.

Laparoscopic approach in the surgical treatment of large retrorectal tumors: a short-term experience at a single tertiary center case series in Korea.

Retrorectal tumors, although rare, pose diagnostic and treatment challenges due to their nonspecific symptoms and complex anatomical location. This single-center case series reports short-term outcomes of laparoscopic transabdominal resection as a surgical approach for large retrorectal tumors. Between 2017 and 2020, five patients underwent this procedure.

Ulcerated Jejunal Lipoma Causing Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A Case Report.

Lipomas of the small intestine are rare and generally asymptomatic. However, they can present with obstructive symptoms or gastrointestinal bleeding that is difficult to localize. A 63-year-old female patient was admitted to the emergency department with a complaint of melena for four days.

Intraneural Lipomas of the Median Nerve: a case presentation and review.

Intraneural lipomas and lipofibromas are rare, benign median nerve tumours. We report a 62-year-old woman with carpal tunnel syndrome owing to an intraneural lipoma. MRI is the reference standard investigation for diagnosis, directing treatment towards operative or non-operative management.

Symptomatic giant lipoma of the neck in an adolescent.

Lipomas are the most common soft tissue tumours in adults, but they represent less than 10% of paediatric mesenchymal tumours. In adults, they are typically slow growing and painless. We describe an adolescent with a rapidly enlarging neck mass causing dyspnoea and chest pain.

largest reported ipoma in the United States of America.

A woman in her early 60s presented for evaluation of an asymptomatic left groin mass. CT imaging noted a large fatty tumour replacing the majority of the abdominal and pelvic cavities. The patient underwent uneventful resection of a 53×36×9 cm mass of the retroperitoneal (RP) space.

Yellow nail syndrome linked to a mediastinal lipoma: a case report.

Background: Yellow nail syndrome is characterized by a yellow discoloration of the nails, respiratory symptoms, and lymphedema. It was first described in 1964 and has an estimated prevalence of less than 1:1.000.

Unusual hand tumor: A case report.

Adipose tumors are dominated by lipomas, but other rarer entities may be encountered such as hibernoma which is a benign tumor that develops from brown fat. The thigh is the preferred location for hibernomas, but the tumor can appear in other areas. The upper limb is a rare localization and there is only 1 case of hibernoma on the hand already reported in the English literature.

Lipoma arborescens in a 22-year-old male: A case report.

Rationale: Lipoma arborescens (LA) is a rare, benign proliferative disorder of the synovial lining that typically affects middle-aged individuals, predominantly in the knee joint. However, its occurrence in younger patients is unusual and may pose unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This case report aims to highlight the clinical, imaging, and therapeutic aspects of LA in a young adult, thereby expanding the understanding of its presentation in this age group.

Unilateral giant axillary accessory breast in male: Case report.

Introduction: Accessory breast tissue is a rare condition occurring in 1-3 % of males, primarily in the bilateral axillary region. Kajava Class I accessory breast, characterized by glandular tissue, an areola, and a nipple, is rarely reported. This case report highlights the clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, and management of this rare entity in an elderly male.

Neurophysiological identification and differentiation between the motor and sensory roots in pediatric spinal cord lipoma surgery.

Background: Radical resection of spinal cord lipomas reduces the rate of re-tethering. Current conventional neurophysiological mapping techniques are not able to differentiate between crucial motor nerve roots and sensory roots. Enhanced differentiation could contribute to complete resection.

Quadrigeminal plate lipoma presenting with seizures and hydrocephalus in a child - A case report.

Background: Intracranial lipomas are rare, benign lesions with no neoplastic origin. Most affected patients are asymptomatic and are typically pediatric or young adults. We describe a case of a child with a quadrigeminal plate lipoma presenting with seizures and hydrocephalus.
