Upper back soft tissue tumor ASSESSMENT
DIFFERENTIALS RULE IN RULE OUT Lipoma Soft, mobile non painful mass Non erythematous Not warm No punctate (eye) Slow growing Epidermoid Cyst Soft mass -no punctate opening Liposarcoma Mass -sarcomas usually firm, non-mobile -usually aggressive in growth -absence of other constitutional symptoms
LIPOMA common benign tumors of mature fat which may be subcutaneous, extra muscular, or intramuscular. Symptoms usually a painless mass that has been present for a long time exception is the angiolipoma, which is painful when palpated Physical exam palpable, mobile, painless lesion
LIPOMA Demographics slightly more common in men affects predominantly patients between 40-60 years old develops in sedentary individuals Anatomic location superficial/subcutaneous location is common superficial lesions are common in the upper back , thighs, buttocks, shoulders and arms deep lesions are affixed to surrounding muscle, in the thighs, shoulders and arms ~5-10% of patients with a known superficial lipoma, will have multiple lesions
LIPOMA Types: Common variants of lipoma include spindle cell lipoma pleomorphic lipoma angiolipoma intramuscular lipoma hibernoma Imaging: Radiographs CT Scan MRI
