Lipomas are slow-growing, benign mesenchymal tumors composed of mature fat cells. A giant lipoma of the male breast is an unusually large, non-cancerous fatty tumor. Typically, a lipoma is classified as "giant" if it measures at least 10 cm in any dimension or weighs more than 1000 grams. Giant lipomas of the breast are rare, with an estimated incidence of approximately 2.1 per 1000 individuals. While liposuction may be suitable for smaller lipomas, open surgical excision is generally preferred for giant lipomas to ensure complete removal and reduce the risk of recurrence. We report a rare case of a giant lipoma in the left breast of a 65-year-old male, which was successfully and completely excised through open surgery.
