Lipomas are slow-increasing benign soft-tissue tumors, commonly without clinical features. Lipomas are recorded in 1-2% of the population and make up almost half of the soft tissue tumors. Intramuscular lipomas account for 0% - 50% of all adipose tissue tumors. A huge lipoma is defined if it is more than 10 cm in length or weighs more than 1 kg. Lipomas are found in the head and neck area in 13%. Huge lipomas are rare and benign of painless neck masses. Operative excision assures the confirmation of lipomatous tumor and results in full resolution of neurological clinical features.
