Management of a giant cervical lipoma: Case report and literature review

Pan African Medical Journal, Volume 39, No. 100, Article 100, Year 2021

Lipoma is the most common of soft tissue tumours. It rarely occurs in the head and neck. Patients with fast-growing large sized lesion (>10cm) should be suspected to have a cancer. We here report the case of a patient presenting with unusual cervical lipoma (size: approximately 46cm), diagnosed based on imaging tests, including computed tomography (CT) scan. Patient´s management was based on surgery.
