This case report details diffuse lipomatosis, a rare condition of excessive fatty tissue growth. Imaging confirmed extensive fatty infiltration in a patient

Area of Science:

  • Medical Case Reports
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Diffuse lipomatosis is a rare benign condition characterized by widespread deposition of mature adipose tissue.
  • It can affect various body regions, including subcutaneous tissues, muscles, and sometimes bone.

Observation:

  • A 54-year-old male presented with a significant mass in his left gluteal region.
  • Radiographic examination revealed hyperostosis of the phalanx in the left third toe.

Findings:

  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) were crucial for diagnosis.
  • These imaging modalities clearly delineated diffuse fatty tissue overgrowth in the left buttock and extremity.
  • The infiltration involved both subcutaneous and gluteal muscular tissues.

Implications:

  • Accurate diagnosis of diffuse lipomatosis relies on advanced imaging techniques like MRI and CT.
  • Understanding the extent of fatty tissue infiltration is vital for patient management and surgical planning.
  • This case highlights the varied presentation of lipomatosis, including potential skeletal changes.
