Giant Lipoma Over Thigh
Asian Journal of Case Reports in Surgery · pp. 17–20 · Published 24 Jan 2024
Abstract
Lipoma is the most common benign soft tissue tumor. It can be of variable size, but it is mostly slow-growing, mobile, and of soft mass. This is a case report of a large swelling over the posteromedial aspect of the right thigh, which progressively increased over a period of 10 months. An MRI showed the swelling to be in the subcutaneous plane. Several core needle biopsies showed the presence of fat necrosis with calcification. Excision of the swelling was carried out, which showed on histopathological examination as lipoma.
