Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
Lipoma is the commonest tumor of the subcutaneous tissue. They are mostly seen in neck, shoulder and back. It may occur anywhere on the body where ever the fat tissue is present and hence also known as ‘universal tumor’. Though they occur commonly in sub-cutaneous planes, lipoma may also develop in other places like intermuscular, subfascial, subserous, submucous, intra-glandular, sole, palm..etc. Hence it is important to not to rule out lipoma at any location. Here we present a series of 2 cases in which lipoma is seen in uncommon locations encountered at our hospital over past 2 years.
