Physical examination revealed a hard and mobile mass in the left neck. Plain X-ray radiographs showed an absence of calcification in the soft tissue mass. MRI revealed a well-defined and lobulated mass, and on T1-weighted images, the lesion showed heterogeneity, with higher signal intensity ...
Vascular signal on color Doppler images is sometimes seen in a larger, ordinary subcutaneous lipoma and is prominent in a hemangioma. As the size of an ordinary subcutaneous lipoma or hemangioma increases, proliferation of the internal vessel or of adjacent adipose tissue is thought to have occurred...
Lipomas are slow growing tumors and often occur under the skin on the neck, shoulders, arms, back, abdomen and thighs. However, occasionally lipomas may be present in deep location or originate within muscle2. Lipoma affects only 1% of the population, although it is probably underreported3. ...
Interestingly, in females, the location of the lesion is outside the conventional distribution pattern and presents about a decade earlier in life than in males [3]. In contrast to the typical shawl-distribution of spindle cell lipomas in the neck, shoulder, and back [5], our patient's ...
15%–20% of lipomas are found in head and neck region and only 1–4% cases are seen intraorally which accounts for 0.1%–5% of all the benign tumors of the mouth [2]. Intramuscular lipomas are rare, with an incidence of 1.8%. In literature lipomas are classified based on the ...
Lipomas are the most common benign neoformation in almost all anatomical sites that present adipose tissue in their structure. They represent 13–20% [2] of head and neck tumors, and 1–5% of neoplasms of the oral cavity [1–3,11]. ...
characteristically, lipomas appear homogeneously hypoattenuating on computed tomograms (except for possible superficial calcification). they show a very high signal intensity on t1-weighted magnetic resonance images (figure, a and b). the signal intensity decreases on fat-suppressed images (figure, c ...

diagnosis: atypical lipomatous tumor (alt) of the retropharyngeal space atypical lipomatous tumor, which may also be designated as well-differentiated liposarcoma (wdl), depending on the tumor location, is a low-grade liposarcoma that may arise in the head and neck region. liposarcomas are ...
Spindle cell lipomas (SCL) are rare, slow-growing and benign fatty neoplasms, which are commonly located in the subcutaneous layer of the posterior neck and upper back. Due to the similarities in the clinicoradiological features, it needs to be differentiated from other benign and malignant soft...
