Abstract:
Lipomas are among the most commonly encountered soft tissue tumors in clinical practice, though they are rare in the foot. Although a presumptive diagnosis is typically made clinically, those tumors with atypical clinical features may require radiological consultation. Difficulty arises when radiographic features are not typical of lipoma. We present a fatty soft tissue tumor of the foot with nonadipose elements on magnetic resonance imaging evaluation. Differentiation of lipoma variants (e.g., spindle cell lipoma, atypical lipoma, pleomorphic lipoma, lipoblastoma, angiolipoma) from liposarcoma based on imaging features is not possible, necessitating surgical resection for definitive histological diagnosis.
