| dc.description.abstract | 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. | en_US |
