Resumen

Los nódulos de Copeman o lipomas episacrales son una entidad muy prevalente en la población general. Consisten en herniaciones de la grasa subfascial en la región episacral, a través de zonas debilitadas de la fascia toracodorsal suprayacente. Generalmente son bilaterales y simétricos, y solo en raras ocasiones dan manifestaciones clínicas. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 63 años que acude por dolor lumbar refractario a los tratamientos convencionales. La exploración ecográfica sugiere el diagnóstico de nódulos de Copeman. Se aborda el tratamiento de la paciente desde una perspectiva multidisciplinar, decidiendo finalmente intervenirla quirúrgicamente. Tras la intervención la clínica remitió al poco tiempo, permitiendo a la paciente seguir una vida normal sin molestias ni tratamiento analgésico.

Abstract

Copeman nodules or episacral lipomas are a very prevalent entity in the general population. They consist of subfascial fat herniations at the episacral region, through weakened areas of the overlying thoracodorsal fascia. They are usually bilateral and symmetric. Only in rare cases they are the cause of clinical manifestations. We present the case of a 63-year-old woman who presents with lumbar pain refractory to conventional treatments. Ultrasound examination suggests the diagnosis of Copeman nodules. The treatment of the patient is approached from a multidisciplinary perspective, finally deciding to operate the patient. After the intervention, the symptoms remitted shortly, allowing the patient to continue a normal life without discomfort or analgesic treatment.
