A lipoma is the most common benign soft tissue tumour. Also known as 'universal tumours', lipomas can occur anywhere where there is adipose tissue. Most of them do not require surgical intervention. However, an increase in size, pain and cosmetic deformity might require surgical excision. A sudden increase in size might be secondary to malignant transformation, and hence any suspicion requires histopathological evaluation. This report presents the case of a 54-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with a giant intramuscular lipoma, causing neurological symptoms. She underwent excision for the same under spinal anaesthesia.
脂肪瘤是最常见的良性软组织肿瘤。脂肪瘤也被称为“全身性肿瘤”，可发生于任何有脂肪组织的部位。大多数脂肪瘤不需要手术干预。然而，脂肪瘤大小增加、出现疼痛和影响美观时可能需要手术切除。大小突然增加可能是恶变所致，因此任何可疑情况都需要进行组织病理学评估。本报告介绍了一名54岁女性患者的病例，该患者被诊断为巨大肌内脂肪瘤并伴有神经症状。她在脊髓麻醉下接受了脂肪瘤切除术。
