Myxolipomas are rare variants of lipomas characterized by abundant myxoid changes resulting from an abundant mucoid component. While myxolipomas have been reported in various anatomical locations, their occurrence in the popliteal fossa is exceptionally rare, with the last published case dating back to 1914. We present a case of a 64-year-old male with a large myxolipoma in the popliteal region. The patient underwent successful surgical excision, and a histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of myxolipoma. This case report highlights the clinical features, differential diagnosis, and diagnostic challenges associated with myxolipomas in the popliteal fossa.
黏液脂肪瘤是脂肪瘤的罕见变体，其特征是由于富含黏液样成分而出现大量黏液样改变。虽然黏液脂肪瘤已在各种解剖部位有报道，但其在腘窝处的发生极为罕见，上一次发表的病例可追溯到1914年。我们报告一例64岁男性，其腘窝区域有一个巨大的黏液脂肪瘤。患者接受了成功的手术切除，组织病理学检查确诊为黏液脂肪瘤。本病例报告强调了腘窝黏液脂肪瘤的临床特征、鉴别诊断及诊断挑战。
