Abstract:
A case of diffuse infiltrating lipomatosis is reported. This entity represents a particular type of lipoma. It can be distinguished from other fatty tumors by its localisation, extent, therapeutic procedure, and prognosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables the differentiation from lipomatosis pelvis and malignant tumors as well. Histopathological examination, however, is necessary to exclude liposarcoma. Further growth or recurrence of diffuse infiltrating lipomatosis can be detected by MRI follow-up examinations.
