Lipomas are slow-growing, benign soft tissue tumors that are typically asymptomatic. We describe the case of a 52 year old female, severely overweight who presented with an 8 month history of slowly progressive large lower abdomi-nal mass. Clinical workup gave an indication of a subcutaneous lipoma. The patient underwent open surgery where the mass was removed. Pathology results revealed a lipoma without malignancy. Lipomas only require treatment when they are symptomatic or to rule out malig-nancy. Giant lipomas are defined as a lesion that are over 10 cm in length or weigh more than 1000 grams.
脂肪瘤是生长缓慢的良性软组织肿瘤，通常无症状。我们描述了一例52岁严重超重女性的病例，她有一个8个月缓慢进展的下腹部巨大肿块病史。临床检查提示为皮下脂肪瘤。患者接受了开放手术，切除了肿块。病理结果显示为无恶性特征的脂肪瘤。脂肪瘤仅在出现症状或需要排除恶性病变时才需要治疗。巨大脂肪瘤定义为长度超过10厘米或重量超过1000克的病变。
