Abstract

Lipomas are most common benign tumours derived from adipose tissue. Lipoma breast is somewhat difficult to diagnose clinically because of fatty consistency of breast. Lipoma breast measuring more than 10 cm in diameter or weighing more than 1 kg is called giant lipoma of breast which is infrequently observed because of rarity in size and location, with only very few case reports available in literature. Here, we have reported a case of this rare entity in 80 years old female who presented with complaints of painless lump in her right breast at our hospital.
