✦ Synopsis

A case report involving a 76-year-old male is presented. The signs and symptoms represent a difficult diagnostic problem. The physical signs are dependent on a knowledge of the distribution of fat and fascia in the region involved. The importance of this distribution, both physiologic and pathologic, is the subject of a brief Commentary.
