Preperitoneal lipomas are rare in clinical practice. Here we report an unexpected diagnosis of a giant preperitonealfibrolipoma detected intraoperatively during laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a 56-year-old woman. The mass wasexcised and a histopathological examination confirmed fibrolipoma. No recurrence was found on follow-up. Inthe literature, there have been many cases with unexpected diagnoses during laparoscopy. Here, we present anincidental giant preperitoneal fibrolipoma, which was overlooked by ultrasound and physical examination, but wasdetected during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
