Presentation
Abstract This paper presents a rare case of infantile infiltrating lipoma in the buttock. The usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging of the tumor in the follow-up study is discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We present a case of a giant lipoma discovered 14 years after the traumatic injury in a patient who presented with pain in the right leg. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]
It is benign and presents in adulthood as a small circumscribed mass. The anatomic distribution is wide with relative sparing of the head, hands, and feet. [mhmedical.com]
A survey of buttock tumors suggested that when pain is present, it is usually due to cyst formation in old haematomas, and pain along the course of the sciatic nerve and its branches was present in 40 % of the cases [ 12 ]. [oncohemakey.com]

There was no swelling in any other part of the body. There was no preceding history of trauma, sudden rapid enlargement of the swelling or ulceration over the swelling. She had received no treatment prior to presentation. [jmedtropics.org]
But if you notice a lump or swelling anywhere on your body, have it checked by your doctor. [lipedemasurgery.com]
Symptoms may include bone pain, fatigue, anemia, swelling, and a visible lesion on the skin over the tumors. [urmc.rochester.edu]
Last year around this time, I started having pain and what felt like swelling in the exact same area. I do not feel a large lipoma like I did before, but was wondering if this pain could be scar tissue. [forums.prohealth.com]
- Surgical Procedure
Comprehensive care, before, during & after surgery At Allure MedSpa, we don’t simply provide surgical solutions to conditions; we recognize your needs extend beyond the surgical procedure itself. [alluremedspa.in]
Excision (Removal) The only treatment that will completely remove a lipoma is a surgical procedure called excision. Procedure. In this procedure, a local anesthetic is typically injected around the tumor to numb the area. [orthoinfo.aaos.org]
Bigger cysts are cleaned during a surgical procedure, after opening the lesion with a scalpel, or removed in one piece, which prevents recurrence if the entire cyst wall has not been removed during the procedure. [laser-medica.eu]
This is usually reserved for very slow growing, large lipomas where the patient is at a high risk for developing keloid scarring due to genetics or skin color or is a high risk to undergo a surgical procedure. [atlanticsurgicalassociates.com]
What is the surgical procedure for lipoma involving nerves? Surgery for lipoma involving nerves differs depending on the location of the lipoma. [innovateus.net]

Musculoskeletal
- Fracture
A surgeon can remove this tumor if it begins to cause pain or if the bone is in danger of fracturing. [urmc.rochester.edu]
This case debates Meggitt and Wilson’s hypothesis which suggests that when excessive force is applied locally to adipose tissue, it may cause fat compartments to fracture, shearing of the anchoring between the skin and the deep fascia ( 14 ). [clinicaldermatology.eu]
Stress fractures of the sacrum or pelvis can cause recalcitrant pain in this region. To treat this problem, you will need to work on stretching your piriformis muscle. One method of doing so is to lie on your back, bend the affected knee and hip. [iawr-connect.com]

- Fear
Although formerly classified as a sarcoma, it is the exception for it to present malignant features, and it can usually be extirpated by local measures without fear of recurrence. [manual-of-surgery.com]
Neurologic
- Irritability
Treatment Treatment of fibromas is usually unnecessary, unless they become the reason of patient's discomfort or if there appear symptoms of irritation, erosion and other untypical changes. [laser-medica.eu]
Usually they are benign, however, they can be quite irritating. If a lipoma is growing very slowly, it can form a thin capsule around itself. Faster growing lipomas can grow without the capsule. [atlanticsurgicalassociates.com]
Aside from this, lipomas do not need to be removed unless they are cosmetically unacceptable, irritate a nerve causing tenderness, or are on a place where they hinder function (such as on the buttocks preventing sitting comfortably or on the back preventing [smartlivingnetwork.com]
Pains can occur only when the lesion compresses the nerves causing irritation. When lipomas are located between the skin and the deep fascia, the classical aspect includes a soft, fluctuant feel, lobulation and non adherent of overlying skin. [clinicaldermatology.eu]
My doctor told me I could do a couple of things: 1) Take a muscle relaxer he prescribed me and do these exercises to help stretch out my back so it won't get irritated and try and stay active (I'm a student that sits in class five days a week for hours [city-data.com]

[…] common superficial lesions are common in the upper back, thighs, buttocks, shoulders and arms deep lesions are affixed to surrounding muscle, in the thighs, shoulders and arms ~5-10% of patients with a known superficial lipoma, will have multiple lesions Prognosis [orthobullets.com]
The prognosis is more favourable than in any other tumour as it never changes its characters; the only reasons for its removal by operation are its unsightliness and its probable increase in size in the course of years. [manual-of-surgery.com]
Etiology
Lipomas are multiple in approximately 5% of cases. 1 Etiology and Pathogenesis The majority of lipomas (approximately 75%) show karyotypic abnormalities. [mhmedical.com]
There is no known etiology. [1] [2] Signs and symptoms [ edit ] These lesions are generally asymptomatic, although patients give a long history of a solitary, superficial mass. [en.wikipedia.org]
Althought this topic are one of the most discussed, the etiology remained unknown, so in literature there are only hypothesis. [clinicaldermatology.eu]
An alcohol-abuse or hepatopathological etiology is assumed. Lipedema, in contrast, occurs in women with a genetically determined disorder of fat distribution. [dercums_data.tripod.com]
The etiology is unknown. If the breast examination is otherwise normal, the patient may be referred for cosmetic surgery. The available surgical options vary depending on the location of the hypoplastic breast tissue …. [aetna.com]
Epidemiology
Patients can develop a recurrence, so follow-up is required. [2] Epidemiology [ edit ] This is a rare tumor, presenting over a wide age range, but usually in the 3rd to 5th decades of life. [en.wikipedia.org]

Prevention
Aside from this, lipomas do not need to be removed unless they are cosmetically unacceptable, irritate a nerve causing tenderness, or are on a place where they hinder function (such as on the buttocks preventing sitting comfortably or on the back preventing [smartlivingnetwork.com]
Prevention Lipoma has no definite treatment except for surgical removal which does not guarantee a recurrence. The exact cause of Lipoma is still unknown that certain methods of preventing the occurrence of Lipoma remain elusive. Lipoma Pictures [healthh.com]
Insurance will generally decline to pay for cosmetic procedures, though if removing the lipoma is a medical necessity (to alleviate pain or prevent infection), insurance should help cover the costs. [beverlyhillsplasticsurgerygroup.com]
Bigger cysts are cleaned during a surgical procedure, after opening the lesion with a scalpel, or removed in one piece, which prevents recurrence if the entire cyst wall has not been removed during the procedure. [laser-medica.eu]
