Intraoral spindle-cell lipoma: report of a case and literature review

Khoo SP, Lian CB

Ann Dent, 1995 Summer;54(1-2):53-5.

PMID: 8572549

Spindle-cell lipoma (SCL) of the oral cavity is very rare. There are only four such reported cases in the literature. A concise literature review of SCL and a case report of a SCL affecting the cheek and lip of a 23-year-old man is presented.

INTRODUCTION: Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare, non-functional, benign neoplasm which is constituted of mature haematopoietic elements and adipose tissues in various proportions. It is diagnosed accidentally and frequently with the widespread use of imaging modalities.

PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report a 63-year-old lady with incidental findings of adrenal tumour on computed tomography (CT) scan during a routine medical check-up. She underwent tumour resection in view of a large tumour of 7 cm in size.

DISCUSSION: CT scan is sensitive to diagnose adrenal myelolipoma in view of its fat-laden property and useful to monitor the tumour progress. Even previously she opted for conservative management; the decision for surgery was made in view of enlarging tumour and risk of surrounding tissue compression.

CONCLUSION: With increased awareness, the detection rate of this tumour is improving, hence able to prevent the complications of a large tumour such as compression, bleeding and tumour necrosis.

Fulltext Adult Intramuscular Shoulder Angiomyolipoma: a rare case

Journal of Clinical and Health Sciences, 2016;1:37-39.

Intramuscular shoulder angiomyolipomas are very rare. We report a case in a 22-year-old male with a well circumscribed lesion located on the back of the shoulder. This lesion, differs from renal angiomyolipoma in terms of non-association with tuberous sclerosis, circumscription and male predominance. Another characteristic feature is the absence of epithelioid cells. Differential diagnosis includes lipoma, angiolipoma, angioleiomyoma, hemangioma, myolipoma and liposarcoma. It is distinguished from the above mentioned entities by the presence of a combination of thick-walled blood vessels, smooth muscle and fat.

Fulltext Lipoma of vallecula-a case report

Lipomas of the larynx, oropharynx and hypopharynx are rare, accounting for approximately 1% of benign laryngeal neoplasms. We present a rare case of a simple lipoma arising from the right vallecula. A 55-year-old male presented with worsening dysphagia for 1 week. CT scan revealed a lesion of fat attenuation in the right vallecula. The patient underwent surgical excision and recovered uneventfully. To our knowledge, there are only two cases of vallecular lipoma that have been reported and they are both of spindle cell subtype and located on the left side. This is the first reported case of a simple lipoma arising from the right vallecula and causing obstructive symptoms. CT scan or MRI is essential in confirming the diagnosis and assessing the extent, thus allowing prompt excision, especially when the patient is symptomatic.

'Pai Syndrome' with anterior alveolar polyp: A variant of a rare clinical entity

Debnath KK, Kanapaty Y, Yong DJ, Chandran S, Bakri A

Med J Malaysia, 2019 Jun;74(3):229-230.

PMID: 31256179

'Pai syndrome' (PS) is a rare congenital syndrome. Presented here, a new-born baby-girl who exhibited the characteristic features of having a midline nasal (septal) polyp, an anterior alveolar process polyp, and a pericallosal lipoma associated with corpus callosum dysgenesis of the brain. Both polyps were lined with stratified-squamous epithelium. The overall features were largely consistent with those described by Pai et al., in 1987. A midline cleft-lip (with or without cleft-alveolus) is one of the most common features of the syndrome which was however absent in this case. Instead, an anterior alveolar polyp is present, which is relatively rare.

Fulltext Lipoma Arborescens of the knee: a case report of rare entity

Lipoma arborescens is a non-neoplastic, reactive condition due to chronic synovial inflammation and irritation, characterized by frond-like or villous proliferation of mature adipose tissue covered by hyperplastic synovium. The knee is the most commonly affected site particularly the suprapatellar pouch. We report a case of lipoma arborescens affecting the right knee of an elderly Chinese gentleman associated with bilateral knee and hand osteoarthritis. He presented with progressive worsening of right knee swelling and pain. Partial synovectomy of the right knee was performed and no lesion recurrence was noted at one year post-operation. The clinical and imaging findings, pathological features, together with differential diagnoses were discussed.
