ABSTRACT
STUDY DESIGN:
Case report.OBJECTIVES:
To report a case of a giant intramuscular lipoma after a blunt trauma. SUMMARY OF LITERATURE REVIEW Lipomas are the most frequent benign tumor of the mesenchymal tissue. Although the etiopathogenesis is not complete understood yet, it is known that lipoma develope with a 1% rate after traumas in the related localizations. Traumata induce hematoma and initiates inflammatory reactions in fatty tissue and can trigger the development of lipoma. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
2 years after a blunt trauma a 56years male patient developed a back mass. A massive lipoma was confirmed clinical and radiological.RESULTS:
A total excision was performed and the result was histopathologic confirmed.CONCLUSIONS:
Patients who develop hematoma after a trauma need a close lipoma progress observation which decrease the invasive treatment of post-trauma hematoma.
