“…However, several authors have not been able to identify anatomical confirmation for the hypothesis of deep fascial injury leading to the development of PTL [2,4]. In this case presentation, the patient was not obese and the development of de novo adipose tissue in the ventral lower thorax/upper abdominal region favors the theories postulated by Galea et al in 2009 [5].…”

Background: Pseudolipomas are normal adipose tissues that accumulate in abnormal locations and postulate an association with trauma. Post-traumatic pseudolipomas (PTLs) are benign, soft tissue tumors that develop in various anatomic sites following acute, chronic or repetitive trauma. PTLs remain a poorly recognized and investigated clinical entity. They follow a benign course and early recognition of this clinical entity may allay anxiety in patients who suspect a more serious underlying condition or malignancy. Case presentation: We present an unusual case of a 31 year old male with a history of repetitive surfboard trauma in the past presenting with symmetric, painless soft tissue swelling of upper abdomen. Magnetic resonance imaging was consistent with Ventral PTLs. Conclusion: PTLs are a distinct clinicopathological entity but, owing to unpredictable presentations, are poorly recognized by physicians and surgeons alike. Inclusion of PTL in the differential of a lipomatous lesion can be achieved by eliciting a prior history of trauma. PTLs have not been documented to undergo malignant transformation and patient anxiety may be allayed with the diagnosis. Liposuction or surgical excision may be offered for cosmetic reasons or if symptoms arise.

“…It is most commonly associated with translocations and rearrangements of the 12q13~q15 chromosomal region [9]. A competing theory which was proposed for lipoma following trauma revealed that growth factors, cytokines, and other inflammatory mediators which are released following blunt trauma to soft tissue, induce preadipocyte differentiation into mature adipocytes and form a clinically apparent mass [10].…”

“…Literatürde travma sonucu 17 yaşında adölesanda ya da infantil dönemde gelişen vulvar lipom vakaları da bildirilmiştir [3,6]. Klinik prezentasyonları mobil, ağrısız, yavaş büyüyen, tek ya da çoklu sayıda olabilen ve diğer organların serozasına kadar uzanacak şekilde derin yerleşim gösterebilen kitleler şeklindedir [7,8]. Literatür incelendiğinde bizim sunduğumuz vakadan farklı olarak büyük boyutlara ulaşan lipomların, ekzofitik olduğu görülmüştür [9,10].…”

ÖzetLipomlar mezenkimal dokudan kaynaklanan en sık görülen iyi huylu tümörlerdir. Bu tümörler sıklıkla sırtın üst yarısında, boyunda, omuzlarda, karın, kalça ve ekstremitelerin proksimalinde subkutan yerleşimli bulunurlar; yumuşak, mobil ve ağrısızdırlar. Ancak vulvada bu tümörlerin görülmesi oldukça nadirdir ve bu nedenle literatürde az sayıda vulvar lipom olgusu rapor edilmiştir. Bu olguda 35 yaşındaki, yaklaşık 1 yıldır sebat eden ve son birkaç ayda büyüme eğilimi gösteren vulvar kitle nedeniyle kliniğimize başvuran hasta sunulmaktadır. Kitleye total eksizyon yapılmış ve 13,5x 7,5x 3 cm boyutlarındaki kitle mikroskopik incelemede lipom olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bu olgu vulvar kitlelerin ayırıcı tanısında lipomların gözardı edilmemesi gerektiğini hatırlatmakta ve erken dönemde cerrahi ile eksizyonun yapılmasının önemini vurgulamaktadır. Pam Tıp Derg 2015;8(3):251-253Anahtar sözcükler: Lipom, Vulva. AbstractLipomas are the most frequently seen benign tumors which are arising from mesenchymal tissue. They are found over the nape of the neck, upper back, shoulders, abdomen, buttocks and proximal portions of the extremities and they are soft on palpation, movable and painless. However, the presence of these tumors in the vulva is very rare and therefore a small number of vulvar lipoma cases have been reported in the literature. In this case, we presented a 35 years old patient who had committed to our clinic with the complaint of vulvar mass which is ongoing approximatetly for one year and has been growing in the last couple of months. Total excision of the mass was made and the mass which has the dimension of 13,5x 7,5x 3 cm is evaluated as lipom in the microscopic evaluation. This case reminds us that vulvar lipoma should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of the other vulvar masses and it underlines the importance of the surgical excision in the early period.Pam Med J 2015;8(3):251-253
