Abstract

Lipomas are  common soft tissue tumors of mesenchymal origin.They contain mature adipose tissue. They are usually located in the subcutaneous tissue. They rarely ocur within the muscle and then are called intramuscular lipomas. Ultrasonography is the first diagnostic method to be selected. However, cross-sectional imaging methods are  more useful in the diagnosis. On Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with the help of signal characteristics and fat suppression techniques,diagnosis is easily achieved. In addition, the relationship of lesion with the adjacent anatomical structures can be assessed better with MRI. Here, will be explained two different intramuscular lipoma cases and imaging findings will be reviewed.

İki İntramusküler Lipom Olgusu: Radyolojik Bulgular

Abstract

Lipom, sık görülen mezenşimal kökenli bir yumuşak doku tümörüdür. Matür yağlı doku içerirler. Genellikle subkutan dokuya yerleşirler. Kas içerisine yerleşimleri nadir görülür ve bu durumda intramusküler lipom olarak adlandırılırlar. Ultrasonografi, seçilecek ilk tanı yöntemidir. Ancak, kesitsel görüntüleme yöntemleri tanıda daha faydalıdır. Manyetik rezonans görüntülemede (MRG), sinyal özellikleri ve  yağ baskılama tekniklerinin katkısıyla tanıya kolaylıkla ulaşılır. Ayrıca lezyonun komşu anatomik yapılarla ilişkisi de MRG ile daha iyi değerlendirilebilir. Burada, iki farklı yerleşimli intramusküler lipom olgusu anlatılacak ve görüntüleme bulguları gözden geçirilecektir.
