Giant intramuscular lipoma of the Sartorius: a case report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: Intramuscular lipomas are rare soft tissue tumors of mesenchymal origin. They represent a relatively uncommon condition and accounts for less than 1% of all lipomas. Their clinical, histological and imaging characteristics may resemble well-differentiated liposarcomas, further adding to the difficulties in the differential diagnosis and treatment. In deep and very large lipomas, the compression or expansion to the adjacent soft tissues and peripheral nerves can lead to pain, neurological and mechanical dysfunctions. Although it is generally believed that intramuscular lipomas primarily occur in the large muscles of the limbs and the trunk, they can occur in almost any anatomical site. This study examined a rare case of a giant intramuscular lipoma of the Sartorius muscle that led to a mechanical dysfunction of the hip, and its management, allowing clinicians to become familiar with this lesion.
