Descripción
Sumario:Spindle cell lipoma (SCL) is a subtype of lipoma first defined by Enzinger; it accounts for ~1.5% of all fatty tumors. Most cases occur in the posterior neck and shoulders of middle-aged men and rarely in women or the occiput. A 41-year-old woman presented to us with complaints of a mass on her left occiput which had slowly grown in size over six years. We excised the tumor, and pathological findings confirmed the diagnosis of SCL. There was no recurrence one year after the surgery.
