Özet

Lipomas are benign soft tissue tumors composed of adipose tissue. They are mobile, painless, well-circumscribed, slow-growing masses and have rubber-like consistency. They may be localized in almost all body parts where the fat tissue is present and may be in a giant form. Mass localization may also cause functional limitations. Giant li- pomas of the neck are very rarely seen. In the present study, we reported a 59-year- old man who presented with a cervical mass enlarged in a time period of 10 years. During 21 months of postoperative period, cosmetic and functional results of the sur- gery were excellent. Any recurrence was not detected. After surgery, patient’s restric- tion of body function was disappeared.
