RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The cupping massage is a form of bloodless cupping. This type of cupping is particularly used to treat muscular tension and musculoskeletal pain, such as chronic neck pain; however the data records on mechanisms and potential side effects are not satisfactory. CASE REPORT: In a study on the effectiveness of cupping massage in patients with chronic neck pain, one patient showed a formation of a lipoma in the cupping area after the first treatment session. CONCLUSION: Because of the short time interval between therapy and development of the lipoma, a primary cause is not realistic. This adverse event has not been described in the literature before, and the present report describes the case in summary.

Se presentan 2 casos de intususcepción colónica secundaria a un lipoma de colon transverso, intervenidos en un período de 8 años, de similares características anatomoclínicas y sometidos a una colectomía segmentaria. Los lipomas son los tumores benignos extramucosos más frecuentes del colon, la mayoría de ellos asintomáticos. La forma clínica de presentación más relevante es la obstrucción intestinal crónica intermitente secundaria a una intususcepción colo-colónica. En el estudio preoperatorio son exámenes complementarios importantes la colonoscopia, el enema baritado y la TAC abdominal, que en conjunto permiten plantear un diagnóstico presuntivo correcto. Un cambio de posición dentro del colon de una lesión protruida en el enema baritado y/o en la colonoscopia sugiere la existencia de una invaginación colo-colónica. La incapacidad de descartar un cáncer de colon apoya la elección de un tratamiento quirúrgico radical en la mayoría de los casos

A contour deformity, clinically reminiscent of a large lipoma, can develop after a severe shearing-type injury to the upper thigh, hip, or sacrum, particularly in young women. As the injury is rarely dealt with in the first weeks, it usually presents after a deep scar has contracted. At this stage active surgical intervention seriously increases the aesthetic problem. Conservative treatment with massage, pressure, and possibly injection of steroids is more effective. To the best of our knowledge, this condition has not previously been described.
