Adipose tumors called lipomas are frequently seen in the human head, neck, shoulder blades, and back’s subcutaneous tissues. Although lipomas have been seen in people of all ages, they often initially manifest themselves between the ages of 40 and 60. These slowly expanding, almost invariably benign tumors often manifest as painless, spherical, movable masses with a distinctively soft, doughy texture. Rarely, illnesses such inherited multi lipomatosis, adiposis dolorosa, Gardner’s syndrome, and Madelung’s disease can be linked to lipomas. Additionally, there are variations including adenolipomas, angiolipomas, neomorphic lipomas, and spindle cell lipomas. The majority of lipomas should be left alone, but those that are uncomfortable or that are developing quickly can be treated using a number of techniques, including steroid injections and tumor removal. Lipomas and liposarcoma must be differentiated. The most frequent kind of lipomas are tumors of the soft tissue mesenchyme. Usually,they are made of mature fatty tissue and are subcutaneous in location. They are known as deep-seated lipomas when they develop beneath the surrounding fascia. Intramuscular lipomas are rare lipomas that develop inside the muscle. It has been usual practice to analyze and classify intramuscular lipomas with other superficial and deep-seated lipomatous lesions. Their similarities to well-differentiated liposarcomas in terms of clinical, histological, and imaging features further complicate the differential diagnosis.
