Endoscopically Assisted En Bloc Resection of Anterior Knee Lipoma.


ABSTRACT: Open resection of a large lipoma requires a large incision that may result in disfigurement from the scar. Endoscopic resection of the lipoma can have better cosmetic results. However, piecemeal removal of the lipoma has the disadvantage of fragmentation of the tumor before it can be determined whether it is benign or malignant. In this Technical Note, the technical details of endoscopically assisted en bloc resection of an anterior knee lipoma are described. This can provide a whole-block specimen for histologic examination.
