Elastofibroma dorsi (ED) is an uncommon, slow-growing, benign, soft tissue tumor of unclear pathogenesis, typically located at the subscapular region of elderly people. It may be unilateral or bilateral. Though many patients are asymptomatic, ED can cause local deformity and symptoms such as periscapular pain or discomfort. Herein we report a case of a 65-year-old woman with painful ED. Clinical features, radiodiagnostic, intraoperative, and pathologic findings, and a brief review of the literature are performed.

Lipoma is universal and abundantly located benign soft tissue tumor, which is composed of fat cells. These tumors often develop where adipose tissue is predominant. Lipomas are soft to firm/cystic, usually movable, and painless. They grow very slowly, and have rarely found to be cancerous. However, these are rarely localized in the plantar aspect of the foot. Here we find out a large benign tumor located in the planter surface of foot, finally diagnosed by histopathological examination.

Lipoma is a common benign soft tissue tumor. It may arise in any location, but most frequently it is located on the trunk, chest, upper thigh, upper arm, and shoulder. Reports of a lipoma in the foot exist, but the occurrence of the tumor in this location is very rare. Lipomas of the toe have only been reported in children, some imitating or having associated gigantism. We present a benign lipoma occurring on the plantar aspect of the second toe in an adult.

The authors report the case of a 50-year-old woman with a benign intermuscular lipoma of the gluteus compressing the sciatic nerve in its course through the sciatic notch. This benign soft-tissue tumor extended into the pelvis, displacing the rectum laterally. Resection was necessary to alleviate symptoms and prevent irreversible damage of the nerve. Wide exposure of the piriformis muscle and sciatic nerve via a transgluteal approach allowed safe lesion removal, and thus avoiding a laparotomy to resect the intrapelvic extension of the tumor. This report features a curious case of soft-tissue tumor growth across the sciatic foramen forming an inverted sciatic hernia. The authors' proposed approach was simple and safe and avoided a laparotomy.
