Dermatol Reports. 2011 Sep 9;3(2):e22. doi: 10.4081/dr.2011.e22. eCollection 2011 Aug 3.

Abstract

A 56-year-old patient developed angiolipomatosis of the anterior part of the thighs after repeated laptop contact localisation. Histological findings exhibit an unusual inflammatory infiltrate. We postulate that the computer could favour lipoma development by a physiopathological mechanism that remains to be clarified.
