Noun

liparocele (plural liparoceles)

1. (obsolete, rare) A fatty tumor or cyst.
   • The liparocele, which Morgagni calls steatocele, a fatty swelling of the cellular membrane which surrounds the scrotum and testes; and the lipomphalus, a fatty hernia of the umbilicus, are of this kind.1809, Bartholomew Parr, The London Medical Dictionary
   • On the exterior of the serous membranes their figure is generally ovoid, one of their extremities being attached to the membrane, the other to the skin; outside the peritoneum this tumour constitutes the fatty hernia or liparocele.1830, Pierre Auguste Béclard, Elements of General Anatomy
