INTRAMUSCULAR LIPOMA OF BICEPS BRACHII - A RARE CASE PRESENTATION

Dr. Saket Goel, Dr. Kalpit Goriwal, Dr. Avinash Kaul

Abstract :

Lipomas are the most common soft tissue mesenchymal tumors. They are benign neoplasms consisting of mature fatty tissue. Lipomas can be grouped via various approaches based on location, constitution, etc. When they are present underneath an enclosing fascia, they are referred to as deep seated lipomas. Intramuscular lipoma is a fairly rare entity as compared to other varieties where the location is found to be within the muscle fies. Clinically and histopathologically intramuscular lipomas mimic liposarcomas. Here we present a rare case of intramuscular lipoma within the belly of biceps achii muscle and do an extensive review of literature.
