Overview

Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of lipoma. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of lipoma include Hypoechoic, minimally heterogeneous lesion.

Echocardiography or Ultrasound

  • Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of lipoma. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of lipoma include Hypoechoic, minimally heterogeneous lesion.[1]
  • Superficial lipomas tend to appear as an echogenic, well-defined mass without posterior enhancement.
  • Deep lipomas may appear isoechoic or hypoechoic compared to adjacent muscle. It may show posterior acoustic enhancement due to greater acoustic transmission within fat compared to muscle.
  • Ultrasound imaging have been observed to have low accuracy in the diagnosis of lipoma.[2]
