Lipomas are the most common soft tissue tumours, accounting for nearly 50% of all soft tissue neoplasms. Among the types of lipomas, intermuscular lipomas are rare. We report the case of a 46-year-old man with a deep-seated lipoma located between the trapezius and splenius capitis muscles in the posterior neck triangle. A successful surgical excision was performed. This case highlights challenges in diagnosis, surgical management, and the importance of complete excision in minimizing the risk of recurrence. This type of lipoma remains relatively understudied; therefore, further studies are needed to increase awareness of its incidence, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and optimal management.
脂肪瘤是最常见的软组织肿瘤，占所有软组织肿瘤的近50%。在脂肪瘤类型中，肌间脂肪瘤较为罕见。我们报告一例46岁男性病例，其深部脂肪瘤位于后颈部三角区的斜方肌和头夹肌之间。手术切除成功。该病例突出了诊断、手术治疗方面的挑战，以及完整切除对于降低复发风险的重要性。这类脂肪瘤的研究相对较少；因此，需要进一步研究以提高对其发病率、临床表现、诊断评估及最佳治疗方法的认识。
