Abstract

OBJECTIVE. The objective of this article is to define the imaging characteristics of spindle cell lipoma on MRI and CT. CONCLUSION. The diagnosis of spindle cell lipoma should be suggested when a well-defined complex fatty mass is found in the subcutis of a middle-aged man, especially if the mass is localized to the posterior neck. Intense enhancement of the nonadipose component further supports this diagnosis.
