Abstract
Lipomas are benign soft tissue tumors having mature adipose
tissue. These lesions are the most common soft tissue tumor,
m a k i n g u p a p p r o x i m a t e l y 5 0 % o f a l l s o f t t i s s u e
tumors. Lipomas are mostly located within the supercial soft[1]
tissues of the extremities, back, and neck. These lesions are
asymptomatic, but due to the supercial location, these
lesions commonly present less than 5 cm in size. Lipomas[2]
deep to the supercial fascia also occur but are rare. These
lesions may be intramuscular or intermuscular and mostly
occur in the lower extremity. Following accidental trauma fat
necrosis can be seen, and the patient presents with pain at the
site of lipoma with discoloration of the skin. It can be
condently diagnosed on ultrasonography, without further
need for any investigation. Here, we are discussing USG,
Doppler, and Strain Elastography imaging ndings in a
pregnant lady having fat necrosis within axillary lipoma.
