Overview
Lipoma can be diagnosed clinically. However, a combination of clinical features and imaging studies are usually used for the diagnosis of lipoma. Biopsy may be indicated in case of rapidly enlarging mass or unusual findings such as firm consistency.
Diagnostic Study of Choice
Study of choice
- Lipoma can be diagnosed clinically. However, a combination of clinical features and imaging studies are usually used for the diagnosis of lipoma.
- Ultrasound imaging is helpful in the differentiation of lipoma from similar lesions.[1]
- Biopsy may be indicated in case of rapidly enlarging mass or unusual findings such as firm consistency.
The comparison of various diagnostic studies for [disease name][2]
| Test | Sensitivity | Specificity |
|---|---|---|
| Ultrasound imaging | 86.87% | 95.95% |
| MRI | 100% | 100% |
Name of Diagnostic Criteria
Lipoma is primarily diagnosed based on clinical presentation and imaging studies. There are no established criteria for the diagnosis of lipoma.
