Abstract

Lipomas are most common benign tumour derived from adipose tissue. Lipoma breast is somewhat difficult to diagnose clinically because of fatty consistency of breast. So preoperative diagnostic work up like FNAC, USG, mammography are important to confirm the diagnosis. Lipoma breast measuring more than 10cm in diameter or weighining more than 1kg is called giant lipoma of breast are tumour infrequently observed. Because of rarity, size & location we presented a case report of giant breast lipoma including USG, mammographic FNAC and intraoperative finding with review of literature.
