Journal Title: Nasza Dermatologia Online - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Lipomas are the most frequent benign tumors of mesenchymal origin. Lipomas may become giant masses, due to usually asymptomatic, painless, slow growing soft tissue tumours. They are more common 5-10 times in males and appearing to avarage age fifth decade of life. Although differantion between lipoma and liposarcoma of low grade malignancy conflict, total surgical excision is adequate treatment. İn this case report, we present 70 years old male with giant back of left shoulder mass as lipoma after surgical excision and histopathological examination.
