Other entities which are accompanied by multiple lipomas include Proteus syndrome, Cowden syndrome and related disorders due to PTEN gene mutations, benign symmetric lipomatosis (Madelung disease), Dercum's Disease, familial lipodystrophy, hibernomas, epidural steroid injections with epidural lipomatosis, [6] and familial angiolipomatosis.
Nevus lipomatosus superficialis (NLS or NLCS, also known as nevus lipomatosis of Hoffman and Zurhelle [1]) is characterized by soft, yellowish papules or cerebriform plaques, usually of the buttock or thigh, less often of the ear or scalp, with a wrinkled rather than warty surface.
Lipomas have a prevalence of roughly 2 out of every 100 people. [2] Lipomas typically occur in adults between 40 and 60 years of age. [1] Males are more often affected than females. [1] They are the most common noncancerous soft-tissue tumor. [5] The first use of the term "lipoma" to describe these tumors was in 1709. [6]
Lipedema is classified by stage: Stage 1: Normal skin surface with enlarged hypodermis (lipedema fat). Stage 2: Uneven skin with indentations in fat and larger hypodermal masses (lipomas). Stage 3: Bulky extrusions of skin and fat cause large deformations especially on the thighs and around the knees.
A nursing diagnosis may be part of the nursing process and is a clinical judgment about individual, family, or community experiences/responses to actual or potential health problems/life processes. Nursing diagnoses foster the nurse's independent practice (e.g., patient comfort or relief) compared to dependent interventions driven by physician ...
Dercum's disease is a rare condition characterized by multiple painful fatty tumors, called lipomas, that can grow anywhere in subcutaneous fat across the body. [1] Sometimes referred as adiposis dolorosa in medical literature, Dercum’s disease is more of a syndrome than a disease (because it has several clinically recognizable features, signs, and symptoms that are characteristic of it and ...
In agreement with the client, the nurse addresses each of the problems identified in the diagnosing phase. When there are multiple nursing diagnoses to be addressed, the nurse prioritizes which diagnoses will receive the most attention first according to their severity and potential for causing more serious harm.
Most cases of pleomorphic lipoma are seen in the subcutaneous tissue of the back, shoulder, and posterior neck. [2] Less commonly, it can also happen in odd places like the tongue, [3] vulva, [4] palm, [5] tonsillar fossa, [6] orbit, [7] and oral cavity. [8] The lesion usually presents as a subcutaneous lump that is circumscribed, like the ...
