Diagnosis of superficial lipomas is usually straightforward. In deep-seated or intramuscular masses, the identification of the lipomatous mass may be more difficult with US due to a similar appearance with adjacent muscles (Fig. 11.70). In such cases, a fidl knowledge of the muscular anatomy of the palm and the comparative evaluation of the opposite hand may be helpful for the conclusive diagnosis. 

Fig. 13.37a,b Intramuscular lipoma of the sartorius muscle, a Transverse 12-5 MHz US image with b CT correlation demonstrates an undefined lobulated hyperechoic mass (arrows) reflecting fatty lobules within the sartorius muscle. Note that the echogenicity of the mass is higher than that of the overlying subcutaneous tissue. In b, compare the affected sartorius (arrow) with the normal contralateral one (arrowhead)...
