    Lipomas appear as soft variably echogenic masses, commonly encountered on ultrasound. If encapsulated, the capsule may be difficult to identify on ultrasound. An elongated isoechoic or echogenic mass in the subcutaneous tissues should suggest the diagnosis of lipoma clearly. The echo phenomena caused by the tumor are very much like those of subcutaneous fat tissue. The existence of striated echoes in the tumor corresponding to the septa increases the possibility of lipoma.
