Study Notes
Lipomas and Their Variants
- Fibrolipoma: A variant of lipoma characterized by well-marked fibrous tissue presence.
- Angiolipoma: Commonly found in areas such as the forearm and trunk; known for its painful nature and blood vessel formation.
- True (Pure) Lipoma Distinction: True lipoma is differentiated from false lipomatosis by its encapsulated structure, whereas false lipomatosis lacks this encapsulation.
- Non-Vascular Lipoma: Conventional lipomas are typically non-vascular compared to their variants, such as angiolipomas.
Conditions Associated with Fatty Tissue
- Adipositas Localis: Characterized by the aggregation of fatty tissue in specific regions of the body, often seen in conditions like Cushing's syndrome, cretinism, and alcoholism.
- Dercum's Disease: Marked by the presence of painful, multiple false lipomas (fatty deposits) commonly observed in the thighs of obese females near menopause.
Lipoma Features
- Characteristic Feature: Lipomas are generally soft, movable, and painless lumps under the skin, typical indicators of benign growth.

Description
Test your knowledge on lipoma, a common benign tumor of adult fat cells. Learn about its pathology, including the well-formed capsule and strands of fibrous tissue that divide the tumor into lobules. Explore the different variants of lipoma, including pure lipoma and those with well-marked stromal (fibrous) tissue.
