n.名词 noun

plural li·po·mas, li·po·ma·ta [li-poh-muh-tuh, lahy-]. /lɪˈpoʊ mə tə, laɪ-/. Pathology.
- : a benign tumor consisting of fat tissue.

There may be an overgrowth of the fatty fringes of the synovial sheath, a condition described as “arborescent lipoma.”
When the fatty fringes are developed to an exaggerated degree, the condition is described as an arborescent lipoma (Fig. 159).
On April 5th, three weeks after the osteotomy, a lipoma was removed from another patient aged twenty-one years.
The term lipoma nasi, formerly employed, is therefore misleading.
The circumscribed lipoma usually occurs over the nape of the neck or in the supra-clavicular region.
