Koh KS, Chong VH, Yapp SK, Chong CF

Med J Malaysia, 2012 Oct;67(5):522-3.

PMID: 23770871

Dysphagia is considered a warning symptom that requires exclusion of significant pathology such as oesophageal cancer, especially in elderly patients. Benign neoplasms of the oesophagus are rare. We report the case of a 69-year-old lady who presented with a five years history of infrequent intermittent dysphagia that had rapidly progressed over one month. This was associated with globus sensation, weight loss, intermittent episodes of stridor and aspiration pneumonia. Investigations revealed a large oesophageal lipoma in the proximal oesophagus extending down to the lower oesophagus. This was successfully resected via a left cervical approach. She remained well two years after the surgery.

Unusual case of lipoma arborescens in the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa

Lim MC, See PL, Wang SY, Wee AT, Tee UL

Med J Malaysia, 2018 12;73(6):400-402.

PMID: 30647212

A 38-year-old female presented with a 10-month history of right shoulder pain with impingement symptoms. She was diagnosed on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to have supraspinatus tendon tear and degenerative changes contributing to subacromial impingement. She also had lipoma arborescens of the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa, an uncommon condition in a particularly rare location. Lipoma arborescens is a benign intra-articular condition characterized by lipomatous proliferation of synovium with replacement of subsynovial tissue by mature adipocytes. It is typically a monoarticular process affecting the knee. Due to the presence of pathognomonic fat, diagnosis is usually straightforward with MR as the preferred imaging modality.

Fulltext Thumb Schwannoma : A Frequent Misdiagnosis

Mooi SS, Ahmad TS

Malays Orthop J, 2016 Mar;10(1):53-54.

PMID: 28435548 MyJurnal DOI: 10.5704/MOJ.1603.010

A 32 year-old Malay lady presented with a swelling over the dorsal surface of her right thumb for 6 months. The swelling was non-tender, smooth surfaced, mobile and nonfluctuating with no bony involvement. The provisional diagnosis was ganglion cyst. Excisional biopsy did not show features of ganglion cyst as it appeared to be wellencapsulated, multi-lobulated and yellowish in colour. Histopathological examination showed that it was a schwannoma. Schwannomas are relatively rare benign tumours which are frequently misdiagnosed. In this case, it was misdiagnosed both as a ganglion and a lipoma.

MyJurnal

Renal angiomyolipoma, once considered a rare benign renal tumour, is relatively common these days. They account for 0.3-3.0% of all renal masses. Histologically, it is composed of adipose tissue, smooth muscles and blood vessels. Here, we wish to highlight five cases of renal angiomyolipomas which were presented to the University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, over a two-year period between June 2005 and June 2007. This study wish to illustrate its varied clinical presentation and the management undertaken for each underlying condition. These cases were presented in the form of spontaneous perirenal haemorrhage, a large asymptomatic renal mass, a small asymptomatic renal mass, a symptomatic renal angiomyolipoma and a case of renal angiomyolipoma mimicking a renal tumour. Each of these cases varied in its clinical presentation; thus, management has become very challenging to clinicians ranging from conservative management to active intervention, be it operatively or non-operatively.

MyJurnal

Objective: To delineate and differentiate between late subacute hemorrhage and intracranial lipomas in clinically available conventional and advanced MR sequences. Methods: Two cases of late subacute hemorrhage and two cases of intracranial lipoma were reviewed with CT scans and 3.0T scanner MRI. The sequences evaluated in MRI were T1-weighted (T1W) fast spin echo (FSE), T2-weighted (T2W) FSE, gradient echo T2*-weighted (GRE T2*W) images, diffusion weighted (DWI), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and multivoxel spectroscopy. Results: Late subacute hemorrhage and intracranial lipoma have similar imaging features on T1W, T2W FSE with blooming artefact at the margins on GRE T2*W. However on GRE T2*W sequence, the central area of lipoma demonstrates low signal; while hemorrhage demonstrates high signal. In DWI, late subacute hemorrhage shows hyperintensity; while in lipoma there is loss of signal.
Conclusion: Awareness of the potential pitfalls in standard sequence are important, as these entities appear to have similar T1W/ T2W characteristic with blooming artefact on T2*W. Knowing the distinctive central signal intensity pattern on GRE T2W* and DWI is therefore essential to differentiate between these lesions as there are differences to their clinical management.

Parapharyngeal space lipoma causing sleep apnoea

Abdullah BJ, Liam CK, Kaur H, Mathew KM

Br J Radiol, 1997 Oct;70(838):1063-5.

PMID: 9404213

Lipoma of the parapharyngeal space is very rare, only three cases having been reported in the literature. A parapharyngeal space lipoma causing obstructive sleep apnoea has not been reported before. A 60-year-old man presented at the ear, nose and throat (ENT) clinic with a history of loud snoring associated with sleep apnoea secondary to a right parapharyngeal space lipoma. The causes of sleep apnoea and the radiological features of a parapharyngeal space lipoma are discussed.

Dendritic fibromyxolipoma: a variant of spindle cell lipoma with extensive myxoid change, with cytogenetic evidence

Wong YP, Chia WK, Low SF, Mohamed-Haflah NH, Sharifah NA

Pathol. Int., 2014 Jul;64(7):346-51.

PMID: 25047505 DOI: 10.1111/pin.12176

Dendritic fibromyxolipoma (DFML), a rare, recently described distinct benign soft tissue tumor, has many clinicopathological features reminiscent of spindle cell lipoma and solitary fibrous tumor with myxoid change. It is distinguished histologically from both entities by the presence of spindle and stellate cells with dendritic cytoplasmic prolongations, prominent myxoid stroma with abundant keloidal collagen and occasional small plexiform vascular proliferation. We describe a case of histologically confirmed DFML of the left shoulder in a 67-year-old male, in which subsequent cytogenetic analysis revealed deletion involving 13q14.3 region in all the tumor cells, typically detected in spindle cell lipoma. In the presence of many clinicopathological similarities between DFML and spindle cell lipoma including chromosomal abnormalities, we postulate that DFML is merely a rare variant of spindle cell lipoma with extensive myxoid degeneration, and may not be considered as a separate entity. The possible differential diagnosis and their distinguishing features are briefly discussed.

PMID: 26162385 MyJurnal

Hibernoma is a slow growing, rare benign tumour, which derived from brown adipose tissue. This tumour is usually found in the area where foetal fat persists such as back, axilla, retro peritoneum and thorax. Hibernoma rarely occurs in the retro pharynx. We report a case of retropharyngeal hibernoma in a 44-year-old male. He presented with obstructive symptoms for six months and a retropharyngeal mass upon examination. His CT scan findings showed a mass in the prevertebral region from level of C2 until C5 causing narrowing of upper aero digestive tract. Histopathological examination reported as hibernoma.

Fulltext A large mesenteric lipoma: an uncommon etiology of small bowel obstruction

Vrshni Menaka R Siva Nathan, Mahedzan Mat Rabi

Malaysian Journal of Medicine and Health Sciences, 2020;16(3):319-321.

MyJurnal

Fat density lesions or masses arising from the mesentery are best imaged in Computed Tomography or Magnetic Res- onance Imaging scans. This a case of a 75 year old man who presented with intestinal obstructive symptoms. Urgent computed tomography scan was carried out which revealed a large mesenteric lipoma compressing the small bowel at the level of the jejunal loops. Small bowel obstruction can be due to intrinsic, extrinsic and intraluminal causes. Mesenteric lipomas are uncommon, thus torsion or twisting of the mesenteric lipoma causing intestinal obstruction is exceptionally rare.

Fulltext Comparison of Non-Operative Mesotherapy and Surgery in the Management of Superficial Lipomas

Kataria K, Venkatesh M, Chumber S, Rathore Y, Srivastava A, Dhar A, et al.

Malays J Med Sci, 2021 Feb;28(1):51-58.

PMID: 33679220 DOI: 10.21315/mjms2021.28.1.7

Background: Lipomas are benign adipocytic tumours. Surgical excision is the gold standard for treating such lipomas, but it results in unaesthetic scarring.

Methods: A total of 126 patients were randomised into two groups. The patients in Group A underwent mesotherapy (n = 66) and those in Group B underwent surgery (n = 60). The patients in Group A group received six sessions of mesotherapy treatment at 2-week intervals. Both groups were followed up for 12 weeks, during which they were assessed for complications arising from treatment, reduction of the size of the lipoma and cosmetic outcomes.

Results: The overall mean age of the patients was 32.93 (± 10.1) years old and the mean volume of the lipomas was 2.29 (± 3.8) mL. A 55.86% (P = 0.0032) mean reduction in the volume of lipomas was noted in the patients who received mesotherapy, while one patient showed a gain of 16% by volume. The patients in Group A (cosmetic score ≥ 4: 63%) were happier with the treatment than those in Group B (cosmetic score ≥ 4: 21%).

Conclusion: Our findings indicate that mesotherapy modestly reduces the volume of lipomas with very few and minor complications and excellent cosmetic outcomes.
