In last 2 days, i met 3 cases of pedunculated lipoma in gluteus region. Thats a good serial cases in short time but i forgot to take the 2nd case photos. A lipoma is composed of fat resembling that normally present in the body. The commonest variety is the subcutaneous lipoma, which grows from the subcutaneous fat, and forms a soft, irregularly lobulated tumour. The fat is arranged in lobules separated by connective tissue septa, which are continuous with the capsule surrounding the tumour and with the overlying skin, which becomes dimpled or puckered when an attempt is made to pinch it up. As the fat is almost fluid at the body temperature, fluctuation can usually be detected. These tumours vary greatly in size, occur at all ages, grow slowly, and, while generally solitary, are sometimes multiple. They are most commonly met with on the shoulder, buttock, or back. In certain situations, such as the thigh and perineum, they tend to become pedunculated #surgeryday #medstudent #doctor #cases #lipoma #tumor #surgeon #paces #nurse #scrubnurse #medicine #medicalstudent
