“…The differential diagnosis includes the more frequent subcutaneous, intramuscular or intra-abdominal lipomas [6][7][8] and angiolipomas of the abdominal wall [9]. The ultrasonographic criterion for diagnosis of Copeman nodule is represented by the evaluation of muscular fascia because all these entities do not cross beyond the fascia.…”

Copeman nodule: a case report

The Copeman nodule is a disease of the subcutaneous soft tissue consisting in subcutaneous adipose tissue herniation through the superficial muscular fascia. A 30-year-old female patient presented with chronic left pain just above the iliac crest. Ultrasound examination showed subcutaneous adipose tissue herniation through the superficial muscular fascia with a hernia gap of 15.9 mm in diameter. Then the patient underwent surgery under local anesthesia with suturing of the hernia gap and immediate regression of chronic pain. Ultrasound can accurately highlight or exclude the presence of Copeman nodule and, in our view, should be used as first examination in patients with superficial chronic pain to the right or left side.

“…[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Ultrasound can provide insight to the size and location of the lipoma, and is often sufficient imaging for small, uncomplicated, and well-circumscribed lipomas. 14,15 Deep-seated, large, symptomatic, or otherwise unusual lipomas require additional radiographic imaging using computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to better examine and localize the mass. 7,11,[16][17][18][19] Cross-sectional imaging modalities can identify septations, solid components, and enhancements that raise clinical suspicion of liposarcoma.…”

Intramuscular Lipoma within a Free Myocutaneous Flap: Systematic Review and Management

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Lipomas are a common finding often of little clinical significance, but they can pose a challenge to the microsurgeon if discovered during flap harvesting, especially if found within the muscle along the pedicle or perforators. Here the authors report a case in which a well-circumscribed intramuscular lipoma was discovered within the muscle of a free myocutaneous right anterolateral thigh (ALT) vastus lateralis free flap. To the authors' knowledge, the management of lipoma during flap harvesting has not been previously discussed in the literature. A systematic review was performed, and an approach for the management of myocutaneous flaps containing a lipoma was described. Underappreciated considerations including lipoma location, growth pattern, and proximity to pedicle and perforators must be taken into account when evaluating a lipoma during flap harvest.
