Abstract

Lipoma is a fatty tissue tumor presenting as a painless slowly growing mass which can affect any part of the body rich in adipose tissue. Lipomas can be present in the thigh, shoulder, trunk, etc, although they are usually small. We are reporting a 65-year-old man with a giant lipoma involving his left buttock and lumbar region.
