Case Discussion
Lipomas are benign adipocytic tumors which are common in adult, but rare in children. Large lipomas are relatively lucent compared to soft tissues. This feature along with well-defined, smooth margins, ovoid shape and intact underlying bone favors the benign characteristics of the adipocytic tumor.
