Abstract

Abstract In the area of upper extremity lipomas larger than 5 centimeters are considered giant. In the current article, we describe a case of a giant lipoma, which included the muscles of the first extensor compartment before their passing through it, in a woman in her 40s. The patient was successfully treated by excision of this tumor. The diagnosis and treatment options of giant lipomas of the upper extremity are briefly discussed.
