Lipomas are one of the most frequently encountered benign tumors in any location. There is limited information about head and neck lipomas in the litetature and most data is in the form of case reports. Lipomas can rarely reach gigantic sizes and can invade surrounding tissues, especially skeletal muscles, and in this case they are called infiltrating lipomas. In this manuscript we report a case of cervical giant lipoma surrounding and infiltrating the common carotid artery which was treated by grafting carotid artery, and our diagnostic work-up and treatment procedure are discussed in the light of the literature.
脂肪瘤是在任何部位都最常遇到的良性肿瘤之一。关于头颈部脂肪瘤的文献资料有限，且大多数数据是以病例报告的形式呈现。脂肪瘤极少能长得巨大并侵犯周围组织，尤其是骨骼肌，在这种情况下它们被称为浸润性脂肪瘤。在本手稿中，我们报告了一例围绕并浸润颈总动脉的颈部巨大脂肪瘤病例，该病例通过颈动脉移植进行了治疗，并根据文献对我们的诊断检查和治疗过程进行了讨论。
