Abstract

  Solitary lipoma is a frequent soft tissue tumor of multiple locations; indication for surgery when it is painful, unsightly and causes a functional gene. Benign mesenchymal tumor, it is said to be giant when its size is greater than 10 cm and/or weighs more than 1000g. It rarely degenerates into liposarcoma. We report the case of a giant infiltrating lipoma of the right thigh with vascular damage in a 62-year-old patient. The clinical picture was marked by a recurrent mass in the right thigh for about 16 years, painless, causing a significant functional gene. The preoperative radiological assessments (ultrasound and MRI) and the biopsy were in favor of the diagnosis and the indication for resection was retained.
