Description
Summary:Intramuscular lipoma in the mental region is rare with this being, to our knowledge, only the third reported case. It was difficult to differentiate between intramuscular lipoma and well-differentiated liposarcoma by clinical and radiological findings in this case, and we performed excisional biopsy with adequate margins. A V–Y subcutaneous tissue pedicle island advancement flap was used to reconstruct the cutaneous defects. Because the ability of infiltrating lipoma to infiltrate the adjacent muscles and recur locally may lead to a false clinical diagnosis such as liposarcoma, it is essential that histopathologic examination is performed.
