We report a case of a 53 year old female who presented with a painless mass over her left greater trochanter. Evaluation with MRI and ultimately biopsy led to a diagnosis of fat necrosis. If this diagnosis had been considered with greater confidence, a conservative approach could have been taken and biopsy avoided. In patients with lesions demonstrating classic locations and imaging features of fat necrosis, observation without biopsy is appropriate.
我们报告一例53岁女性,其左大转子处出现无痛性肿块。通过磁共振成像(MRI)评估并最终进行活检,诊断为脂肪坏死。如果能更有把握地考虑这一诊断,本可采取保守方法并避免活检。对于具有脂肪坏死典型部位和影像学特征的病变患者,可不进行活检而采取观察。
