Intramuscular lipoma of the lower limb. Long-term follow-up after local resection

P Bjerregaard, K Hagen, S Daugaard, and H Kofoed

Rigshospital, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

We report 12 patients with infiltrating muscular lipomas of the lower limbs all treated by wide resection. During follow-up averaging seven years, the tumour recurred in five patients. Our results and those reported by others suggest that, in order to avoid recurrence, this tumour, although benign, should be treated by total excision of the muscle or by compartmental resection. Hormonal imbalance was suspected in 9 of the patients but an oestrogen receptor analysis of the histological samples proved negative.
