The commonest presentation of
lipoma arborescence is the chronic painless swelling of the knee joint of several years duration.
Lipoma of the tongue is a rare clinicopathological entity and fibrolipoma specifically, is exceptionally rare, with as few as 14 reported cases worldwide.3 The histological features of this subtype of
lipoma render it significant as it may masquerade as a malignancy on clinical examination, and it is therefore important to be aware of such an entity.3 Surgical excision is thus essential to histologically distinguish fibrolipoma from infiltrating malignant lesions, and is the mainstay of treatment.
Fatty tumors, called
lipomas, are one of the most common masses found on elderly dogs.

Dr Pimple Popper then explain that she had to ensure she removed every last piece of the

A high resolution ultrasonography done of the swelling was suggestive of

lipoma: case report and review of the literature.
Macroscopically, the lesion was 12,3x9,5x2,8 cm and histopathological findings were consistent with the diagnosis of
lipoma. The postoperative period was uneventful and the patient was discharged on the 1st postoperative day with immediate and complete remission of her urinary symptoms.
In the differential diagnosis of benign masses in tonsils, the following should be considered: juvenile angiofibroma, fibroepithelial polyp, arteriovenous malformation, lymphangiectasia, squamous papilloma, hamartoma, inclusion cyst,
lipoma, and fibroma (6, 7).
A physician usually can distinguish a
lipoma from a tumor simply by its feel:
Lipomas are soft and fatty, and they tend to move easily if you gently press on them.
