Asked to remove a lipoma on the shoulder area of a 35-year-old lady, looked for the slip sign just to confirm clinically but the sign could not be elicited. The ultrasound report showed the lipoma deeper to the deltoid muscle sheath, from where it was easily removed after getting deeper under the deltoid fascia and through its muscle fibres.
