Reason: S/p excision of left thigh atypical lipoma, evaluate for recurrence History: Above Markers were placed along the lateral aspect of the upper thigh. There is a band of low signal intensity again seen traversing the subcutaneous fat, indicating a surgical scar. Again seen is an elongated fusiform collection of fat within the vastus lateralis, along the mid thigh, which appears similar to that seen on the prior study. This may simply represent focal atrophy or postoperative changes. We see no discrete mass. There is mild edema type signal and minimal enhancement within the vastus lateralis muscle just proximal to this fat, which we suspect is postoperative in etiology, appearing similar to slightly less pronounced when compared the prior study. We see no specific findings to suggest tumor recurrence. The bone marrow signal intensity is normal.
Surgical changes of atypical lipoma excision. We see no evidence of tumor recurrence.
