Lipoma are benign tumors originates from fat tissue. They mostly arise on the trunk and extremities. Giant cervical lipoma is unusual presentation of lipoma. They are divided into 3 types: superficial lipomas, deep lipomas, and periosteal lipomas. Lipoma constitute approximately 5% of all soft tissue tumors. Local recurrence of lipomas following marginal excision is generally less than 5%, although it may be somewhat more common with infiltrating intramuscular lipomas. Giant lipomas located on the anterior neck are extremely rare. They are typically present as a uniform, hyperechoic mass. MRI is preferred examination. We report a 32-year-old male with cervical giant lipoma for 5 years, he underwent surgery with favorable outcome. Our case report focus on a rare effected location. Differential diagnosis of lipoma is liposarcoma should always kept in mind. The treatment is surgical removal. After undergoing surgery to remove a massive neck lipoma, there is a possibility of experiencing various complications, including vascular injury (involving the subclavian vessels), nerve damage (involving the brachial plexus and potential vagus nerve dysfunction), hematoma formation, wound infections, fat embolism, and the development of unsightly keloid scars. Lipomas can manifest as multiple growths, reappear over time, or attain larger sizes when linked to conditions.
