Overview
Diagnostic Study of Choice
Study of choice
- Lipoma can be diagnosed clinically. However, a combination of clinical features and imaging studies are used for the diagnosis of lipoma.
- Ultrasound imaging is helpful in the differentiation of lipoma from similar lesions.[1]
- Biopsy may be indicated in case of rapidly enlarging mass or unusual findings such as firm consistency.
The comparison of various diagnostic studies for [disease name][2]
| Test | Sensitivity | Specificity |
|---|---|---|
| Ultrasound imaging | 86.87% | 95.95% |
| MRI | 100% | 100% |
Name of Diagnostic Criteria
Lipoma is primarily diagnosed based on clinical presentation and imaging studies. There are no established criteria for the diagnosis of lipoma.
