Abstract
Giant lipomas are voluminous benign mesenchymal tumors formed by fatty lobules from mature adipose tissue and whose exact etiological is not yet elucidated. We report the case of a 64-year-old patient with a giant lipoma at the hip with physical and psychological impact. Treatment was surgical and consisted of a wide excision of the mass. The surgical piece measured 378X303 mm and weighed 2600 grams. The surgical follow-ups were simple. The late management of lipomas can lead them to reach an inordinate size causing disabilities and increasing the possibility of neoplastic transformation. After excision, a pathological anatomopatological study is required to rule out a liposarcoma.
