One type of soft tissue lesions of the oral cavity is lipoma, which is a kind of benign tumor composed of mature lipid cells. Although the lipoma presents as one of the most common mesenchymal neoplasms, most tend to develop on the trunk and proximal portions of the extremities. However, lipomas in the oral and maxillofacial region are much less frequent. Here we present a case of an intraoral lipoma in a six year-old child.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The incidence of duodenal tumors has increased by health surveillance. However, preoperative diagnosis of subepithelial duodenal tumors remains difficult because of the wide variety of pathologies and the location of the tumors. We analyzed endoscopic, radiological, and pathological features of subepithelial benign duodenal tumors (BDTs), which were treated by surgical resection. METHODS: Five patients with subepithelial BDTs treated by surgical resection were analyzed retrospectively. We compared the preoperative and postoperative diagnosis and evaluated the clinical presentations, endoscopic and radiological findings, surgical treatments, pathological results, and outcomes of these patients. RESULTS: All the patients underwent successful surgical resection. There were two cases of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) treated with segmental duodenectomy, one case of carcinoid tumor treated with antrectomy, one case of gangliocytic paraganglioma treated with ampullectomy, and a lipoma removed by mass excision. The two GISTs were in the duodenal third and fourth segment close to the pancreas, and it was difficult to exclude pancreatic tumors by imaging studies. All the patients remained healthy for more than three years. CONCLUSIONS: Subepithelial BDTs are rare and difficult to diagnosis. Awareness and preoperative diagnosis of subepithelial BDTs can lead to minimally invasive treatment, including endoscopic or local surgical resection.

Lipomas are the most common benign tumors of soft tissues. However, conventional lipomas have been reported only rarely as presenting in the vulva. We present a case of vulvar lipoma in a 17-yr-old woman, possibly caused by chronic intermittent irritation.

6.Clinicopathologic features of dendritic fibromyxolipoma.
Chinese Journal of Pathology 2003;32(5):404-408
OBJECTIVETo study the clinicopathologic features of dendritic fibromyxolipoma for the purpose of differentiating it from other confusable soft tissue neoplasms.
METHODSEight cases of dendritic fibromyxolipoma were obtained and their clinicopathologic features were studied. Immunohistochemistry stains for CD34, bcl-2, vimentin, cytokeratin, EMA, S-100, HHF35 and smooth muscle actin were performed with labeled streptavidin-biotin (SLAB) system on DAKO auto-immunohistochemical stainer.
RESULTSDendritic fibromyxolipoma usually occurrs in middle-aged to elderly men, developing primarily in the subcutis or muscular fascia of the head and neck region, shoulder, back, calf and foot. Grossly, it is well-circumscribed, partly thinly encapsulated lesion with focal mucinous or gelatinous cutting surface. Histologically, all these tumors showed similar histological features., and were characterized by an admixture of mature adipose tissue, spindle and stellate cells, and abundant myxoid stroma with prominent collagenization. The proportion of above elements varied in different tumors or in different areas within the same tumor. One of the pathologic characteristics was the proliferation of spindle cells and stellate cells showing thin cytoplasmic dendritic prolongations. No cytological atypia or mitotic activity could be identified. Furthermore, the lesions were well-vascularized and the vascular elements consisted of small to median-sized and capillary-sized plexiform vessels. Spindle cells were strongly positive for CD34, bcl-2 and vimentin but negative for S-100 protein and epithelial and muscle markers.
CONCLUSIONSDendritic fibromyxolipoma is characterized by clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical features. Based on those features of this tumor, this entity appears to represent a transitional form between spindle cell lipoma and solitary fibrous tumor, and should be distinguished from myxiod liposarcoma and myxoid malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Due to the benign nature of this lesion, simple local excision is curative.

Lipomas are common benign tumors of mature adipose tissue, enclosed by thin fibrous capsules. They can occur on any part of the body; however, peritoneal lipoma is extremely rare. We encountered a case of a 75-year-old man presenting with intermittent abdominal pain, who had undergone right hemicolectomy due to colon cancer. Abdominal computerized tomography showed a well-defined heterogenous fatty mass measuring 4.5x3.5 cm in size, suggesting fat necrosis located in the abdominal wall. Laparotomy showed a very large soft mass of peritoneum. Pathologically, the tumor was diagnosed as lipoma containing fat necrosis located in parietal peritoneum not fixed to any organs, but with small bowel adhesion. Due to its rare etiologic origin and obscure cause of development, we report on a case of lipoma of parietal peritoneum causing abdominal pain.

Myolipoma is a rare benign tumor, composed of irregularly admixed adipose tissue and smooth muscle fibers. Few literature studies have described the radiologic appearance of myolipoma, especially in the soft tissue. No MRI findings in subcutaneous myolipoma of an extremity have been reported. Here, we report on the case of a 34-year-old woman with myolipoma in the subcutaneous tissue of the ankle and describe MRI features of the lesion.

A subconjunctival orbital fat prolapse is frequently confused with a dermolipoma clinically. These two entities have similar clinical appearances, but are clearly distinct. The clinical features, differential diagnosis, and treatment modalities of subconjunctival orbital fat prolapse and dermolipoma are discussed.
