Physical examination of [[patients]] with a lipoma is usually remarkable for a mobile, painless [[mass]] with a soft consistency. This mass often occur in  the [[neck]], [[shoulders]], back, arms and [[thighs]]. Sometimes, lipoma may cause limitation in the range of motions of the [[extremities]] depending on their size and locatins. Neuromuscular examination of patients with lipoma may be remarkable for positive [[Tinel's sign]] and [[Phalen's sign]]. [[Lasègue's sign]] may be positive in case of lumbosacral lipoma.

Overview

Physical examination of patients with a lipoma is usually remarkable for a mobile, painless mass with a soft consistency. This mass often occur in the neck, shoulders, back, arms and thighs. Sometimes, lipoma may cause limitation in the range of motions of the extremities depending on their size and locatins. Neuromuscular examination of patients with lipoma may be remarkable for positive Tinel's sign and Phalen's sign. Lasègue's sign may be positive in case of lumbosacral lipoma.

Physical examination

Appearance of the Patient

  • Patients with lipoma usually appear normal.

Vital Signs

Skin

  • Skin examination of patients with a lipoma is usually normal.
  • Subcutaneous lipoma is palpated as a mobile, soft lump which is usually painless.

HEENT

  • HEENT examination of patients with a lipoma is usually normal.

Neck

  • Neck examination of patients with a lipoma is usually normal.

Lungs

Heart

  • Cardiovascular examination of patients with a lipoma is usually normal.

Abdomen

  • Abdominal examination of patients with a lipoma is usually normal.

Back

  • Back examination of patients with a lipoma is usually normal.

Genitourinary

Neuromuscular

Extremities

  • Extremities are common locations for lipoma development and in the presence of lipoma, a mobile lump with a soft consistency will be palpated.
