Two cases of histologically proven giant retroperitoneal lipomas are presented. Both were evaluated by computed tomography and sonography. Although the computed tomography findings of both lesions were similar, they exhibited different echographic patterns sonographically. In this article, the authors discuss the various ultrasonographic characteristics of body fat, and they present possible explanations.

Key Words: fat • lipoma • retroperitoneum • ultrasound
