Abstract
Lipomas are the most common benign mesenchymal tumours, They may be localized in almost body parts and may be in a giant form [1]. We report a case of a 50- year- old man, who presented with a mass evolving during 20 years in gluteal region, which measured 28 x 20 x 14 cm in diameter and weighed 2 kg. With surgical treatment the entire mass was successfully resected. Histology confirmed the diagnosis of giant subcutaneous lipoma. Cosmetic and functional results of the surgery and patient satisfaction were excellent. After surgery patient's quality of life was improved and restriction of body function was disappeared.
