Deri Altı Lipomların Epidemiyolojisi

Lipom, yağ hücrelerinden oluşan yavaş büyüyen, kapsüllenmiş, yuvarlak çıkıntılı, dalgalanan ve ağrısız bir tümördür. Vücudun yağ bulunduğu yerde ortaya çıkar ve adından da anlaşıldığı gibi “yaygın tümör” veya “her yerde bulunan tümör”dür. Bu çalışmada Subkutan Lipomların epidemiyolojisini gözden geçirmeyi ve değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. 1 yıl boyunca histopatolojik inceleme yapılmayan ve visseral olmayan lipomlu 126 hastanın tümü yaş, cinsiyet, boyut, bölge ve lipomun çokluğu açısından incelendi. 126 hastanın 75'inde (% 71,90) lipomlar 5 cm'den küçüktü. Çoğu genç erkek olan 22 hastada (% 17,46) multipl subkütan lipom bulundu. 126 hastanın 70'i (%62,98) 40-60 yaş grubu arasındaydı. Çalışmamızda deri altı, non-visseral lipomun prevalansı erkeklerde daha yaygındı, 126 hastadan 78'i (% 61,90) erkek, 48'i (% 38,09) kadındı. Bu çalışmada sonuç olarak, lipomlar yaygın, benign, yavaş büyüyen, genellikle asemptomatik tümörlerdi. Erkeklerde daha yaygın ve 31-60 yaş grubunda yaygın olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Genellikle baş, boyun ve gövde bölgesinde ortaya çıkmış ve genellikle 5 cm'den küçüktü.

Epidemiology of Subcutaneous Lipomas

Lipoma is a slow growing, encapsulated, lobulated, fluctuant and painless tumour composed of fat cells. It occurs anywhere in the body where fat is found and hence the name ‘universal tumour’ or ‘ubiquitous tumour’. We aimed to review and evaluate the epidemiology of Subcutaneous Lipomas in this study. All 126 patients who had a non-visceral lipoma diagnosed on histopathological examination during a period of 1 year were analysed as regards the age, gender, size, site and multiplicity of the lipomas. The lipomas were smaller than 5 cm in 75 of the 126 patients (71.90%). Multiple subcutaneous lipomas were found in 22 patients (17.46%), most of them young males. 62.98 % (70 out of 126) patients were between the age group of 40 to 60 years. The prevalence of subcutaneous, non- visceral lipomas was more common in males as in our study, out of 126 patients, 78 (61.90%) patients were males and 48 (38.09%) patients were females. As a result in this study, lipomas were common, benign, slow growing, and generally asymptomatic tumours. They were more common in males and commonly occurred in the age group of 31- 60 years. They commonly occurred in the head and neck and trunk region and were usually less than 5 cm in size.
