Abstract

Lipoma, a benign neoplasm of adipocytes, is the most common mesenchymal soft tissue tumor of adulthood, but rarely present with huge sizes in their cutaneous localization. Liposarcomas are the second most common soft tissue sarcoma following malignant brous histiocytoma. They comprise approximately 16-18% of all malignant soft tissue tumours. It is most common in the trunk followed by lower extremity, upper extremity and head and neck.. While lipomas can be clinically diagnosed , transformation of lipomas into liposarcoma is rare. Here we report the case of a 55 gentleman, who came with a history of swelling over the right shoulder with a probable malignant transformation due to history of long duration of presence of swelling. Management is usually by wide excision. Local radiation and chemotherapy may be necessary for high grade lesions.
