“…Treatment traditionally includes surgical excision or liposuction depending on the size, anatomic location, and clinical characteristics of these relatively common, slowly growing mesenchymal neoplasms. 1,3,4 Although effective, these modalities are associated with the risk of scarring, seroma, and hematoma formation. 3,5 Treatments that are minimally invasive and not associated with these risks would be ideal for patients with multiple lipomas or those reluctant to undergo operation.…”

“…Indication for the removal of lipoma mainly remains cosmetic. Treatment options reported in the literature for lipomas range from steroid injection,[ 7 10 ] simple excision[ 7 ] to segmental extraction[ 9 ] and liposuction. [ 5 ] The mainstay of treatment is surgical excision.…”

Rationale: Presenting a rare case report of a giant multilobular lipoma in submandibular and submental spaces of anterior and lateral aspect of neck. Patient's Concerns: The patient's main concern was persistent diffuse swelling in right lower face and neck region for 5–6 years. Diagnosis: The lesion was diagnosed as multiple septate lipoma measuring 11.5 cm × 10.5 cm × 6.5 cm involving submandibular region and anterior triangle of the right neck following fine-needle aspiration cytology and radiological imaging. Treatment: Extraorally complete surgical excision was carried out through submandibular approach under general anesthesia. Outcomes: The patient's postoperative recovery was uneventful. The patient was followed up on a monthly basis for 6 months. No recurrence was observed. The patient was satisfied with the treatment. Lessons: Lipomas should be considered as a rare differential diagnosis for anterior neck swelling. Biopsy is not necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Surgical excision remains the mainstay of treatment following final diagnosis through imaging modalities.

“…Several less invasive techniques have been adopted to remove lipomas, including liposuction, endoscopic excision, laser lipolysis, and segmental extraction through a small incision. 1,4 Because most large lipomas are lobular and surrounded by thin fibrous capsules, those piecemeal extraction techniques can lead to incomplete removal. Blind dissection can lead to insufficient hemostasis.…”
