    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.
