Lipoma is a benign soft tissue tumor, composed of mature fat cells. It represents by far the most common benign mesenchymal neoplasm which can occur throughout the whole body, but it rarely originates in the thigh. Due to its rare etiologic origin and obscure cause of development, we hereby report on a case of a lipoma in a 20-year-old female who presented with right thigh chronic swelling that was treated by surgery. Histopathology is fundamental in detecting a malignant transformation.
