title: Endoscopic resection of subcutaneous lipoma and tumor-like lesion of the foot.
abstract: Open resection is the standard surgical treatment for subcutaneous lipoma. However, it may result in cosmetically non-desirable scars in case of large lesion. Endoscopic resection of subcutaneous lipoma and tumor-like lesions may result in better cosmetic result and patient satisfaction. The basis of the endoscopic technique is described.
