Abdominal giant lipomaCitation
Risafituæxli á kvið - sjúkratilfelli 2018, 104(11): 499-501 LæknablaðiðAbstract
Fituæxli eru algeng góðkynja mjúkvefjaæxli, oftast lítil, hægvaxandi og einkennalaus. Hér er lýst tilfelli 52 ára konu í mikilli yfirþyngd sem leitaði læknis vegna stækkandi æxlis ofan við lífbein sem var á stærð við fótbolta. Æxlið hafði farið vaxandi síðustu 8 mánuði. Uppvinnsla gaf vísbendingu að um fituæxli væri að ræða. Sjúklingurinn undirgekkst aðgerð þar sem æxlið var fjarlægt. Vefjagreiningin sýndi fituæxli án illkynja vaxtar. Fituæxli eru fjarlægð þegar stærð þeirra er farin að valda einkennum eða útiloka þarf illkynja mein. Risafituæxli eru skilgreind sem fituæxli yfir 10 cm í þvermál eða sem vega meira en 1000 grömm.Lipomas are slow-growing, benign soft tissue tumors that are typically asymptomatic. We describe the case of a 52 year old female, severely overweight who presented with an 8 month history of slowly progressive large lower abdominal mass. Clinical workup gave an indication of a subcutaneous lipoma. The patient underwent open surgery where the mass was removed. Pathology results revealed a lipoma without malignancy. Lipomas only require treatment when they are symptomatic or to rule out malignancy. Giant lipomas are defined as a lesion that are over 10 cm in length or weigh more than 1000 grams.
