'''Lipoma''' is a benign [[adipocytic tumours|adipocytic tumour]].
 
==General==
*Benign.
*Several variants exist.
**Angiolipoma - one of the (classically) [[painful skin lesions]].
 
==Microscopic==
Features:
*Collection of mature adipocytes.
**Variation of size may be seen -- should prompt a search for lipoblasts.<ref name=pmid8548119>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Mentzel | first1 = T. | last2 = Fletcher | first2 = CD. | title = Lipomatous tumours of soft tissues: an update. | journal = Virchows Arch | volume = 427 | issue = 4 | pages = 353-63 | month =  | year = 1995 | doi =  | PMID = 8548119 }}</ref>
 
Notes:
*Microscopically ''not'' definitely distinguishable from mature clump of fat.
**The lesion must be labeled ''lipoma'' (by the clinican) to be signed-out as such.
 
DDx:
*[[Liposarcoma]] - increased number of blood vessels,<ref name=pmid11685482>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Yang | first1 = YJ. | last2 = Damron | first2 = TA. | last3 = Cohen | first3 = H. | last4 = Hojnowski | first4 = L. | title = Distinction of well-differentiated liposarcoma from lipoma in two patients with multiple well-differentiated fatty masses. | journal = Skeletal Radiol | volume = 30 | issue = 10 | pages = 584-9 | month = Oct | year = 2001 | doi = 10.1007/s002560100395 | PMID = 11685482 }}</ref> esp. chickenwire-like vessels, fibrous septae.
*Benign adipose tissue.

====Myolipoma====
General:
*May mimic a sarcoma radiologically.<ref>URL: [http://www.webmedcentral.com/article_view/1878 http://www.webmedcentral.com/article_view/1878]. Accessed on: 14 March 2013.</ref>

Microscopic:<ref name=pmid15371618/>
*Mature adipose tissue.
*Benign smooth muscle - usually ~ 2x amount of fat.
 
Note:
*If skeletal muscle is present consider ''intramuscular lipoma''.<ref> URL: [http://surgpathcriteria.stanford.edu/softfat/lipoma/intramuscular_lipoma.html http://surgpathcriteria.stanford.edu/softfat/lipoma/intramuscular_lipoma.html]. Accessed on: 14 March 2013.</ref>
