Lipoma intraarticular con presentación clínica de meniscopatía / Intra-articular lipoma with clinical presentation of meniscal disease

Presentamos el caso de un lipoma de localización articular, concretamente en rodilla. La literatura define estos tumores como extremadamente infrecuentes y es el único publicado cuya presentación semeja la clínica y la exploración típica de una meniscopatía. Analizamos la bibliografía existente, que diferencia dos tipos de tumoraciones benignas de tejido adiposo en la rodilla: el lipoma arborescente, más frecuente, y el lipoma intraarticular, que es nuestro caso, mucho más raro. Comentamos los datos acerca de su etiología, forma de presentación, diagnóstico y tratamiento. Concluimos que los tumores benignos de rodilla en general y los lipomas intraarticulares en particular deben ser tenidos en cuenta en el diagnóstico diferencial de los cuadros de dolor mecánico en rodilla(AU)

We report the case of a Lipoma located in the joint, specifically in the knee. The literature defines these tumors as extremely rare and this is the first one to be published that simulates the clinical presentation and typical examination of a knee meniscal disease. We analyzed the existing literature, which distinguishes two types of benign tumors of adipose tissue in the knee (the Arborescens Lipoma, which is the most common, and the intra-articular Lipoma, which is our case, and is much rarer). We have discussed the data on its etiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment. We conclude that benign tumors of the knee, in general, and particularly intra-articular Lipoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of the cases of mechanical knee pain(AU)

Tratamiento ortopodológico en un caso de fascitis plantar y lipoma en el pie / No disponible

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo exponer un caso clínico en el que la paciente presenta fascitis y lipomas plantares con su posterior tratamiento. Se realiza una revisión bibliográfica, haciendo un recordatorio anatómico, funcional y patológico de la aponeurosis plantar. Por otro lado se analizan las características más importantes del lipoma y sus distintos tratamientos. Hay gran variedad de tratamientos para la fascitis plantar pero con la experiencia clínica obtenida, se considera eficaz realizar un tratamiento ortopodológico. Gracias a la incorporación de un soporte plantar se produce un reequilibrio de fuerzas en el pie y esto conlleva una relajación de dicha aponeurosis plantar(AU)

The aim of this work is to present a clinical case of a patient who suffered from plantar fasciitis and plantar lipomas and its treatment. On the one hand, a literature review has been made in order to revise the anatomy, functionality and pathology of the plantar aponeurosis. On the other hand, the most important lipoma features and its different treatments are analysed. There is a wide range of treatments for the plantar fasciitis, but according to our experience, custommade orthoses have been proven to be effectively enough. Due to the custom-made orthoses, the feet experience a rebalancing force that leads to a relaxation of the plantar aponeurosis(AU)

Intracranial lipomas--a clinical study.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the localization of the lipoma, as well as associated intracranial and extracranial lesions in 14 patients immediately following hospital admission. The pathological findings from the neurological examinations of these patients are also investigated. METHODS: Fourteen patients who were admitted to our clinic with a variety of symptoms and diagnosed with intracranial lipoma were included in the study. Problems presented upon admission, neurological findings, and other existing system abnormalities were evaluated. Localization of the lipomas and accompanying pathologies were determined by using computerised tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. RESULTS: The most frequent reasons for admission of patients with intracranial lipomas were: headache 7 (50%), trauma 3 (21.5%), epilepsy 3 (21.5%) and one with symptoms due to the local mass effect of tumor (7%). Although the pericallosal region is accepted as the region where lipomas commonly occur, this study found the most frequent occurrence in the quadrigeminal cistern. Intracranial lipoma calcification was only evident in 1 of the 14 patients. In addition, contrary to the expectations, intracranial and extracranial lesions accompanying lipomas were rare. All patients received systematic treatment. CONCLUSION: This study showed that intracranial lipomas are more frequent in the quadrigeminal region of the brain; most are asymptomatic, generally caught incidentally; and accompanying intracranial and extracranial pathologies are less common than expected.
