    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Lipomas are common benign tumors of adipose tissue.
    • True encapsulation is an uncommon feature in lipomas.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of lipomas exhibiting unusual mobility and pain are presented.
    • These lipomas lacked a consistent attachment to a blood supply.

    Findings:

    • A distinct subtype of lipoma, termed "mobile encapsulated lipoma", is proposed.
    • This entity is characterized by a true capsule, mobility, and associated pain.

    Implications:

    • Recognition of mobile encapsulated lipomas is important for accurate diagnosis.
    • Understanding their unique characteristics may guide surgical or clinical management.
