ÖN KOLDA İNTRAMUSKÜLER LİPOM

Lipomlar, insan vücudunda en sık görülen benign mezenkimal tümörlerdir. Lipom, yağ dokusundan orijin alan ve en sık rastlanan iyi huylu tümöral oluşum olup vücutta yağ dokusu tabakasının bulunduğu her anatomik lokalizasyonda gelişebilir. Lipomlar genel olarak yüzeyel ve fasyanın üzerinde yerleşimlidirler. İntramuskuler lipomlar malign olma potansiyeli nedeni ile önemlidir. İntramuskuler yerleşimli olguların nüks ve metastas olma özellikleri nedeni ile yakın takibi önemlidir Bu çalışmada intramuskuler lokalizasyonu nedeni ile median sinir bası bulguları olan bir olguya dikkat çekmek istedik.

INTRAMUSCULAR LIPOMA OF THE FOREARM

Lipomas are the most common benign mesenchymal tumors of the human body. Lipoma originating from adipose tissue and is the most common benign tumor formation layer of fatty tissue in the body can develop anywhere along the anatomical localization. lipomas, in general, on the superficial fascia and localization. Intramuscular lipomas is important because of the potential to become malignant. Characteristics of the patients due to tumor recurrence and metastasis of intramuscular close monitoring is essential. In this study, we wanted to take care of patient with signs of compression of the median nerve due to the localization of intramuscular lipoma.
