- Abstract
Lipomas are benign tumors consisting of fat tissue that are typically located just beneath the skin, they are most often found on the upper back, shoulders, arms and buttocks. Less commonly, they can be found in deeper tissue of the thigh. Most lipomas are small, weigh only a few grams, and the maximum diameter is under 2 cm, but „‘giant“ lipomas have at least 10 cm in diameter and a minimum of 1,000 g. We present the case of a 14 years old female patient that noticed for about two and a half months, the appearance of a tumor formation in the front side of the left thigh. She was hospitalized for investigations in the department of Pediatric HematologyOncology Tirgu Mures, of Pediatric Clinic I, under the suspicion of soft tissue tumor. The magnetic resonance (MRI) performed revealed a left thigh intramuscular lipoma with maximum dimensions of 66/44/125 mm, later being transferred to the Clinic for Pediatric Surgery and Orthopedics for removal. The histopathologic exam revealed fibrolipoma.
