Intramuscular lipoma of the deltoid causing shoulder pain. Report of two cases.
Intramuscular lipomas have been reported in various regions of the body, and they are usually asymptomatic. Symptomatic lipoma in the deltoid muscle seems not to have been reported previously. Painful lipoma within the deltoid muscle is documented in two middle-aged men. Surgical excision was curative in both cases.
