Giant omental lipoma in an elderly female patient
Journal Title: Medical Journal Armed Forces - Year 2018, Vol 74, Issue 4
Abstract
A lipoma is a benign non-invasive encapsulated mesenchymal tumour that resembles normal fat. It is ubiquitous and the commonest tumour to affect soft tissues. Although a lipoma may arise in any tissue containing fat, omental lipoma is extremely rare.1 Here we present a case of a giant omental lipoma in a 56-year-old female patient that was successfully resected.
