Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to present a case series comprisinggiant cervical lipomas with a review of the literature. Patients and Methods: Of a total of seven patients (4 males,3 females; mean age 47.4 years; range, 17 to 71 years) operatedfor giant cervical lipoma in our clinic, age and sex as well astumor’s duration of presence, size, location, and radiologicaland histopathological findings were recorded. Also, theliterature was reviewed for case reports and case series writtenin English concerning giant cervical lipomas. The terms “giantcervical lipoma” and “giant neck lipoma” were used in PubMeddatabase search. Results: The main complaint of the patients was a large andpainless mass in the neck. In all patients, the mass was removedwith total surgical excision without any serious complicationand no recurrences were observed in the regular follow-ups.In the literature review, 21 giant cervical lipoma patients weredetected in 14 well-documented studies published betweenJanuary 1973 and June 2017. Conclusion: Since lipomas usually behave as slow growing,painless and asymptomatic masses, their treatment may beneglected by some patients, causing the masses to reach giantsizes. Management of giant cervical lipomas may be performedwithout any serious complication with proper preoperativeevaluation and meticulous surgical dissection.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada literatür incelemesi eşliğinde dev servikal lipomlardan oluşan bir olgu serisi sunuldu. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Kliniğimizde dev servikal lipom nedeniyle ameliyat edilen toplam yedi hastanın (4 erkek, 3 kadın; ort. yaş 47.4 yıl; dağılım, 17-71 yıl) yaş ve cinsiyetleri ile beraber kitlenin bulunma süresi, büyüklüğü, yerleşim yeri, radyolojik ve histopatolojik bulguları kaydedildi. Ayrıca, literatürde dev servikal lipomlar ile ilgili İngilizce yazılmış olgu sunumları ve olgu serileri incelendi. PubMed veri tabanı taramasında “dev servikal lipom” ve “boyunda dev lipom” terimleri kullanıldı. Bulgular: Hastaların başlıca yakınması boyunda büyük ve ağrısız kitleydi. Bütün hastalarda kitle ciddi bir komplikasyon olmaksızın total cerrahi eksizyon ile çıkarıldı ve düzenli takiplerde nüks izlenmedi. Literatür taramasında, Ocak 1973 ve Haziran 2017 tarihleri arasında yayımlanan, iyi dökümente edilmiş 14 çalışmada 21 dev servikal lipom hastası bulundu. Sonuç: Lipomlar genellikle yavaş büyüyen, ağrısız ve asemptomatik kitleler şeklinde davrandığından tedavileri kimi hastalar tarafından göz ardı edilebilmekte, bu da kitlelerin dev boyutlara ulaşmasına neden olabilmektedir. Dev servikal lipomların tedavisi uygun ameliyat öncesi değerlendirme ve dikkatli cerrahi diseksiyon ile ciddi bir komplikasyon olmaksızın yapılabilir.
