Abstract:
Lipomas are one of the most common, benign, slow-growing tumours composed of adipose (fat) tissue. These soft, rubbery lumps are usually painless and move easily when touched. Lipomas are generally small, ranging from less than an inch to a few inches in diameter. However, when a lipoma grows to a size larger than 10 cm (about 4 in), it is referred to as a giant lipoma. Only about 1% of all lipomas can be called \"giant\". Though usually they are benign, in the case of a very large lipoma it is essential to rule out the possibility of malignancy before embarking on its surgical treatment. Lipomas can occur anywhere in the body, but they are most commonly found on the neck, shoulders, back, abdomen, arms, or thighs. Here, we present a case of a 42-year-old woman with a giant lipoma over her left scapula.
摘要:
脂肪瘤是最常见的,良性,由脂肪(脂肪)组织组成的生长缓慢的肿瘤。这些柔软的,橡胶状肿块通常无痛,触摸时容易移动。脂肪瘤通常很小,直径从不到一英寸到几英寸不等。然而,当脂肪瘤生长到大于10厘米(约4英寸)的尺寸时,它被称为巨大的脂肪瘤。只有大约1%的脂肪瘤可以被称为“巨大”。虽然它们通常是良性的,对于非常大的脂肪瘤,在开始手术治疗之前必须排除恶性肿瘤的可能性。脂肪瘤可以发生在身体的任何地方,但它们最常见于脖子上,肩膀,回来,腹部,武器,或者大腿.这里,我们介绍了一例42岁的妇女,她的左肩胛骨上有一个巨大的脂肪瘤。
