Abstract
ABSTRACT Lipomas are usually benign tumors formed from a proliferation of mature adipocytes, resulting in hypodermic, soft, compressible, and mobile nodular formations under the skin. In their subcutaneous location, superficial lipomas represent 16% to 50% of soft tissue tumors. They may be solitary or multiple. Solitary lipoma is usually seen in young adults between the ages of 30 and 50 years, regardless of sex, and is frequently asymptomatic. A lipoma is called giant when its weight exceeds 1 kg or its diameter exceeds 5 cm. The etiopathogenesis of lipomas is poorly understood. Herein, we report a case of giant pedunculated lipoma localized on the left inguinal fold being a distress for the patient. Key words: Giant pedunculated lipoma, Diagnostic wandering, Ablation, Burkina Faso
