“…Furthermore, transnasal endoscopic surgery can remove tumors in the nasopharynx. Most lipomas have been treated with surgical instruments, cautery, or laser technologies 5 . However, these procedures need a flexible fiber CO 2 laser or custom‐made cautery.…”

“…Lipomas are composed of mature fat cells and can develop in any part of the body where fatty tissue is located, particularly the shoulders, back, neck, breast, abdomen and proximal extremities (3). Pathologically, lipomas are categorized into spindle cell lipoma, fibrolipoma, myxolipoma, myenteric lipoma, angiolipoma, osteolipoma, pleomorphic lipoma and chondrolipoma (4). In 2009, Okuda et al (5) reported a case of spindle cell lipoma occurring in the Retzius space where a malignant tumor or preoperative gastric cancer metastasis was originally suspected.…”

Lipoma is a common type of benign soft tissue tumor that can occur in the shoulders, neck and back, in addition to other body parts. The Retzius space is a small anatomical space between the pubic symphysis and the bladder located extraperitoneally and filled with loose fatty connective tissue. Giant lipomas are rare in the Retzius space. A 61-year-old Chinese male arrived at Beijing Yanhua Hospital (Beijing, China) due to frequent urination, and CT scan images of the lower abdomen observed a large pelvic mass and left inguinal hernia. Preoperative clinical manifestations and auxiliary examination suggested that the tumor originated from the urinary bladder wall. The maximum tumor diameter was ~25 cm and abdominal pressure was increased. Therefore, laparoscopic pelvic tumor resection combined with inguinal hernia repair was attempted. Intraoperatively, the tumor was found to originate from the Retzius space and the postoperative pathological diagnosis was lipoma. The present case report may serve as a reference for minimally invasive treatment of this type of rare disease in future.

BackgroundLipoma is the most common benign mesenchymal tumor that is composed of mature fat cells. Subdermal laser lipoma treatment may be recommended as an alternative to surgery for its removal.PurposeThe purpose of the study was to investigate the efficacy of the 1,444 nm Nd:YAG laser subcutaneous intralesional application as a treatment option for lipoma.Materials and methodsOn 60 patients (37 women and 23 men) with lipomas localized above the muscle and lipomatosis in various regions, a subcutaneous, micro-pulsed 1,444 nm Nd:YAG laser procedure was executed. Before treatment, an ultrasound was performed and the lipomas were measured. The same lighting setup and photographic tools were used to take pictures of each patient.ResultsThe lipoma reduced or completely disappeared in all cases at the last follow-up, and no infections, burns, skin lesions, episodes of severe bleeding, or other serious adverse effects were reported. The most common transient side effects were ecchymosis and edema. Partial lesion reduction refers to rare cases of lipomatosis in which the lipomas were so small that suction and accurate positioning of the capsular membrane contours were impossible.ConclusionLipoma treatment with a 1,444 nm Nd:YAG laser is a safe and effective minimally invasive procedure without risk of scarring. For cellular disruption, laser treatment is an effective and safe option.
