Lipomas are the slow growing soft tissue tumors of benign nature. They commonly grow on torso and extremities but may also develop in head and neck region. Rarely lipomas can grow to acquire gigantic proportions, turning into an entity termed as giant lipoma. Such lipomas are entitled to immediate attention as they have a relatively high malignant potential. We report a rare case of giant cervical lipoma in an elderly gentleman, followed by a brief discussion on diagnosis and management of the disorder.
脂肪瘤是生长缓慢的良性软组织肿瘤。它们通常生长在躯干和四肢，但也可能发生在头颈部区域。脂肪瘤很少能生长到巨大的尺寸，变成一种被称为巨大脂肪瘤的实体。这种脂肪瘤因其具有相对较高的恶变潜能而需要立即引起关注。我们报告了一例老年男性罕见的巨大颈部脂肪瘤病例，并对该疾病的诊断和治疗进行简要讨论。
