MRI appearance of epidural and paraspinal lipomatosis in a child with hemihypertrophy: case report

Abstract

Abstract

Diffuse lipomatosis is a rare condition characterized by overgrowth of mature adipose tissue that grows in an infiltrative manner. It most commonly involves large portions of a limb or the trunk. In this report, we present the magnetic resonance imaging findings in a 14-year-old boy with diffuse infiltrating lipomatosis, epidural lipomatosis and lower extremity hypertrophy.

Keywords: Diffuse lipomatosis, epidural lipomatosis, hemihypertrophy, magnetic resonance imaging
