Frontalis-associated lipoma of the forehead

S J Salasche et al. J Am Acad Dermatol. 1989 Mar.

Abstract

We describe a deeply placed lipoma of the forehead. This fatty tumor is usually misdiagnosed initially as an epidermal inclusion cyst. Preoperative recognition allows its proper depth within the tissue, that is, within or just below the frontalis muscle, to be anticipated.
