Summary
Large lipomas, though benign, can erode adjacent bone, a rare presentation. Imaging findings in three cases highlight this pressure-induced bony erosion, crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Radiology
- Pathology
Background:
- Lipomas are common benign tumors composed of fat tissue.
- Typically, lipomas do not invade adjacent structures like bone.
- Large or deep-seated lipomas can exert pressure on surrounding tissues.
