Axillary giant lipoma: a report of two cases and published work review.
[liposarcoma]
Lipomas
are
common
,
benign
,
small
-sized
,
soft
-tissue
tumors
.
However
,
giant
lipomas
are
uncommon
and
the
tumor
size
can
cause
pain
and
nerve
compression
syndrome
.
The
axilla
is
an
extremely
rare
location
for
development
of
giant
lipomas
.
We
report
two
cases
of
axillary
giant
lipoma
.
A
47
-
year
-old
man
(
case
1
)
and
a
42
-
year
-old
woman
(
case
2
)
presented
with
a
large
mass
in
the
axillary
region
.
Case
2
had
tenderness
in
the
shoulder
and
numbness
in
the
upper
arm
.
Magnetic
resonance
imaging
of
each
tumor
showed
a
homogenous
soft
-tissue
mass
in
the
axillary
region
,
suggestive
of
lipoma
.
In
case
2
,
the
tumor
extended
from
the
axilla
to
the
supraclavicular
region
and
split
and
compressed
the
neurovascular
bundle
.
Each
lesion
was
successfully
excised
surgically
without
serious
complications
and
recurrence
.
In
case
2
,
the
tenderness
and
numbness
disappeared
.
Histologically
,
each
lesion
was
composed
of
multilobulated
,
mature
adipose
cells
,
which
led
to
a
diagnosis
of
benign
lipoma
.
Axillary
giant
lipoma
is
preferably
excised
surgically
to
avoid
damage
caused
by
tumor
compression
to
the
major
vessels
or
nerves
,
to
offer
better
local
control
and
to
establish
a
correct
final
diagnosis
.
