Overview
Lipomas are circumscribed encapsulated soft masses, made nearly entirely of fat. Solid components may present in some cases.
Pathophysiology
- Simple lipomas are circumscribed encapsulated soft masses, made nearly entirely of fat.
- Occasionally solid components will be present (blood vessels, muscle fibres, fibrous septae, and fat necrosis), which need to be carefully assessed to ensure that these do not represent a more aggressive component.
- Histology demonstrates mature adipocytes with no cellular atypia or pleomorphism.[1]
