Abstract
We describe four intramuscular lipoma in the deltoids muscle, in four patients (two women and two men), 62 years old. Two of the tumors were localized in the right side and two in the left side. The tumor size was between 5 and 8 centimetres, causing pain and functional disability of the shoulder. Three of the four patients were treated by surgical extirpation of the tumors. 18 months after surgery, none of the tumors have recurred and all patients showed a total functional recovery.
