case_images: T2-weighted images (Figure 2). The lesion was excised under local anesthesia. The excised specimen appeared to be encapsulated, soft, and pinkish in color and measured 25 x 15 mm (Figure 3).
case_images: Gross appearance of the lesion. The excised specimen was pinkish in color, displayed a soft consistency, and measured 20 x 15 mm in size.

case_images: T2-weighted images (Figure 2). The lesion was excised under local anesthesia. The excised specimen appeared to be encapsulated, soft, and pinkish in color and measured 25 x 15 mm (Figure 3).
case_images: Histological findings of the lesion. (a) A histological examination showed that the lesion contained an overlying epithelium and adipose tissue within dense collagen fibers (hematoxylin and eosin stain, x10) and (b) mature adipose tissue interspersed by broad bands of dense connective tissue (x40).
