Presentation
Soft, mobile, non-tender midline lump in the occipital region. No history of trauma.
Patient Data
There is a well defined homogeneously hypodense fat attenuating area measuring approximately 4.8x4.2x2.2 cm in size is noted in the sclap (occipital region) in the midline. No evidence of intracranial extension. No scalloping or erosion or sclerosis of the adjacent calvarium is seen.
Case Discussion
Lipoma should be differentiated from liposarcoma.
Poorly defined, Inhomogeneous attenuation with soft tissue component and calcifications within fatty mass. Evidence of invasion and infiltrations are CT features of liposarcoma.
