An intramuscular lipoma case of the lower extremity

Abstract

Intramuscular lipoma is a rare, infiltrating albeit benign soft tissue tumour which tends to localize in the thigh and shoulder region. It usually occurs in an older age group. The physical examination, magnetic resonance imaging, and excisional biopsy are essential for differential diagnosis with liposarcoma. The treatment is total resection of the involved muscles because of high recurrence rates. A case of intramuscular lipoma in the proximal extensor muscle group of a 15 year old girl's right leg has been presented since it has occurred in a younger age group and in distal location of the extremity as opposed to proximal in present literature.
