Abstract
Lipomas are the most common type of soft tissue tumors. Intramuscular lipoma is a rare type of deep-seated lipomas,
which arise within the skeletal muscle fibres. It can arise in the background of history of trauma, obesity, chronic
irritation, metabolic disorders, etc. Lipomas are usually benign, but sometimes clinically and grossly, they simulate
malignancy. Intramuscular lipomas also need separation from muscular dystrophies. Histopathology is must to
differentiate. Prognosis of intramuscular lipoma is very good and marginal excision is the treatment of choice. We report
a case of 32 years old female, who presented with a painless swelling shoulder since six months. She had history of
trauma eight years back. Grossly, the received mass was yellow-tan coloured, well circumscribed swelling of soft tissue
along with muscle. Histopathologically, features are consistent with intramuscular lipoma. We report this case because
of its rarity.
