Overview of Back Mice

Back mice, also known as episacral lipomas, are herniations of fat through the lumbar fascia. These nodules are mobile and can cause inflammation, pain, and other symptoms. They tend to develop after an injury that damages the fascia surrounding the muscles in the lower back. Back mice can be easily missed in diagnosis and are often misdiagnosed as non-specific low back pain. Proper recognition and understanding of this condition can help ensure timely and appropriate treatment.
