Uncommon presentation of common clinical case
Journal Title: Journal of Medical and Allied Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Lipoma is the most common benign tumor of the mesenchyme. Common location being trunk and limbs. Lipoma can occur rarely in the head and neck region with most common location being the posterior neck. We report a case of a 62 year old male who presented with a huge swelling (26x16cms), in the chin region with ulceration and bleeding. On further evaluation the swelling was found to be a benign tumor. The swelling was excised along with the overlying skin and on histopathologic examination it was found to be a simple lipoma. On postoperative follow up for 1year there was no recurrence and good aesthetic appearance was achieved. Awareness regarding such uncommon presentations of common clinical conditions like lipoma should always be considered .
