RESUMEN
Lower limb venous obstruction secondary to a lipoma is a rare occurrence. Patients with these benign soft tissue tumors can be asymptomatic, or may experience symptoms of pain, parasthesia, paralysis and swelling secondary to compression on adjacent neurovascular structures. Duplex ultrasound examination is the first-line investigation, but has its limitations. We report on a case of venous obstruction syndrome misdiagnosed as chronic venous insufficiency on duplex ultrasound examination, from a deep-seated giant lipoma compressing on the common femoral and distal external iliac vein in a patient with Dercum's disease.
