“…Liposuction may be used for small or large lipomas; however, removal of the entire tumour is difficult. [12,13] This may be done in the office setting depending on the location and size of the tumour and the experience of the surgeon.

Lipomas is the commonest tumour of subcutaneous tissue. It may occur anywhere in the body, but are very infrequent in the head and neck. Clinically they confuse with other soft tissue masses, especially if the present in the head and neck region. Malignancy has to be ruled out if the large neck swelling with increased rapid recent growth. . Improved diagnostic imaging technology (such as CT or MRI) has been very beneficial for the knowledge of extension and surgical plan of the tumour mass.The best treatment modality so far has been surgical excision. In this present study, a 45-year-old woman who presented with a enlarged submental mass which was present since 2 months but has started growing rapidly since 15 days is described. Surgical excision under bilateral cervical block was performed. A 7cm ×4cm mass was successfully removed. The surgery produced no functional impairment and good cosmetic results. Review of literature is also included.

“…Disadvantages include the need for multiple injections and possible depigmentation of the overlying skin. Liposuction may be used for small or large lipomas; however, removal of the entire tumour is difficult (12,13).

“…Other modalities have been reported, ranging from liposuction (10)(11)(12)(13)(14) to steroid injections (15). Liposuction is sometimes preferred to excision because it causes less scarring (13,14). The recurrence rate may be higher compared with excision if residual tumour, including the capsule, remains after the procedure.…”

Lipomas may be located in all parts of the body and may be confused clinically with other soft tissue masses. They infrequently occur in the head and neck. A large neck mass (greater than 10 cm) with a rapid growth rate should raise concerns about a possible malignancy. Failure to distinguish a liposarcoma from a lipoma may represent a medicolegal pitfall. Surgical excision of a lipoma is often used as the definitive treatment modality, and alternative treatments described for lipomas range from liposuction to steroid injections. In the present study, a 60-year-old man who presented with a rapidly enlarging submental mass is described. A 15 cm × 12 cm mass was successfully removed. The surgery produced excellent cosmetic results and no functional impairment. An integrated review of the literature regarding etiology, epidemiology, diagnostic and treatment modalities of submental lipomas follows.

“…They are usually removed for cosmetic reasons, if they grow very large, or for histopathology to check that they are not a more dangerous type of tumor such as a liposarcoma. Lipomas are normally removed by simple excision or Liposucton [5][6]. There are new methods being developed like use of injection of compounds that trigger lipolysis, such as steroids or phosphatidylcholine or use of ultrasound waves to remove the lipomas without scarring.…”

A 9-year-old male child was admitted with a history of gradually increasing swelling about 16 × 8.5 × 6 cm in size mild pain over the swelling. Physical examination was likely suggestive of benign soft tissue tumor like lipoma. X-ray chest and routine blood investigations were within normal limit. FNAC report was suggestive of lipoma. Excision biopsy (Fig. 2) was done and the specimen was sent for histopathological study. Histopathology report was suggestive of Lipoma. IMAGES IN SURGERY

SECOND PRIZE: Liposuction for Lipomas

Abstract: Six cases of giant lipomas were treated by liposuction surgical removal. The method involves only a 1-cm incision and insertion of a liposuction cannula. The fibrous stroma of the lipoma may be more difficult to remove. Liposuction is a safe and easy method of removing giant lipomas.
