  2. Lipoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipoma

    A fibrolipoma is a lipoma with focal areas of large amounts of fibrous tissue. A sclerotic lipoma is a predominantly fibrous lesion with focal areas of fat. [12] Neural fibrolipomas are overgrowths of fibro-fatty tissue along a nerve trunk, which often leads to nerve compression. [7]: 625

  3. Lipomatosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipomatosis

    Many discrete, encapsulated lipomas form on the trunk and extremities, with relatively few on the head and shoulders. [1] In 1993, a genetic polymorphism within lipomas was localized to chromosome 12q15 , where the HMGIC gene encodes the high-mobility-group protein isoform I-C. [ 2 ] This is one of the most commonly found mutations in solitary ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Familial_Multiple_Lipomatosis

    The lipomas are well-encapsulated, slow-growing, benign fatty tumors. The distribution is defined as being focused in the trunk of the body and extremities. [2] Familial Multiple Lipomatosis can be identified when multiple lipomas occur in multiple family members that span different generations. [2] Some people may have hundreds of lipomas ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevus_lipomatosus...

    The histology of NLCS typically demonstrates the proliferation of ectopic mature adipocytes in the reticular dermis, which ranges from 10 to 50% of the lesion. [ 13 ] [ 14 ] Adipocytes can exist alone or in small groups between collagen bundles, but they most frequently originate surrounding blood arteries or eccrine glands .

  7. Neural fibrolipoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_fibrolipoma

    Neural fibrolipoma is an overgrowth of fibro-fatty tissue along a nerve trunk that often leads to nerve compression. [1] These only occur in the extremities, and often affect the median nerve. They are rare, very slow-growing, and their origin is unknown. [2] It is believed that they may begin growth in response to trauma.

  8. Angiolipoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiolipoma

    Total excision or liposuction is the appropriate course of action for the management of angiolipomas. [15] After excision, the non-infiltrating subtype typically does not recur. [ 16 ] Wide excision with distinct margins is necessary to reduce the likelihood of recurrence because the infiltrating subtype is linked to a 35% to 50% recurrence rate.

  9. Skin biopsy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_biopsy

    A trend has occurred in dermatology over the last 10 years with the advocacy of a deep shave excision of a pigmented lesion. [5] [6] [7] An author published the result of this method and advocated it as better than standard excision and less time-consuming. The added economic benefit is that many surgeons bill the procedure as an excision ...
