These subcutaneous nodules can appear anywhere on the body, but the most common sites are the shins, arms, thighs, and torso. Each nodule typically disappears after around two weeks, though new ones may continue to form for up to six or eight weeks. [3] A new nodule usually appears red and is hot and firm to the touch.
In medicine, nodules are small firm lumps, usually greater than 1 cm in diameter. [1] [2] If filled with fluid they are referred to as cysts. [2]Smaller (less than 0.5 cm) raised soft tissue bumps may be termed papules.
Angioleiomyomas present as solitary, small, slow-growing, firm, movable, subcutaneous nodules that typically measure less than 2 cm in size. Pain is the most obvious symptom of angioleiomyomas. Wind and cold exposure can set off paroxysmal episodes of pain.
a subcutaneous nodule which may have ulceration, similar to a bacterial abscess While cutaneous BA is the most common form, it can also affect several other parts of the body, such as the brain, bone, bone marrow, lymph nodes, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, spleen, and liver.
Nasal glial heterotopia refers to congenital malformations of displaced normal, mature glial tissue, which are no longer in continuity with an intracranial component. This is distinctly different from an encephalocele, which is a herniation of brain tissue and/or leptomeninges, that develops through a defect in the skull, where there is a continuity with the cranial cavity.
Angiolipomas are painful subcutaneous nodules having all other features of a typical lipoma. [7]: 624 [9] Cerebellar pontine angle and internal auditory canal lipomas [10] Chondroid lipomas are deep-seated, firm, yellow tumors that characteristically occur on the legs of women. [7]: 625
Angiolipoma is a subcutaneous nodule with vascular structure, having all other features of a typical lipoma. They are commonly painful. [1]: 624 [2] Angiolipomas manifest as multiple painful subcutaneous nodules commonly on the upper limbs. The can occur sporadically, with a family history or after trauma.
The subcutaneous tissue is a layer of fat between the dermis and underlying fascia. [5] This tissue may be further divided into two components, the actual fatty layer, or panniculus adiposus, and a deeper vestigial layer of muscle, the panniculus carnosus. [16] The main cellular component of this tissue is the adipocyte, or fat cell. [5]
