“…In the head and neck region, the posterior neck is the commonest site from where lipoma arises. 9 The exact cause of lipoma is unknown while some potential causes are hereditary, obesity, diabetes mellitus, trauma, radiation exposure, endocrine disorder, insulin injections and corticosteroids. 10 Jasani et al 11 in their study observed that benign soft tissue neoplastic lesions were more common in head and neck than malignant soft tissue neoplasm.…”

A prospective observational study was conducted in a zonal care hospital probing the role of FNAC in palpable head and neck lesions & its diagnostic utility which can differentiate the various neoplastic and non neoplastic lesions of head and neck very cost effectively. To study diagnostic utility of fine needle aspiration cytology(FNAC) in head and neck lesions. A one year prospective observational study carried out at a zonal care hospital, which included a total of 120 patients reported with head and neck masses in the Otorinolaryngology OPD. Out of 120 FNACs, 38 (31.66%) cases were of thyroid origin, 35 (29.16%) cases included cervical lymph nodes, 34 cases (28.33%) arised from soft tissue and 04 (3.33%) from salivary glands. Thyroid lesion involvement (31.66%) was more common than any other lesion, out of which 84.21% were colloid goitre, 7.89% were Hashimoto’s thyroditis, 5.26% follicular neoplasm and 2.56% papillary carcinoma of thyroid. Amongst the lymph node swellings, 13 cases (36.11%) were reactive/ nonspecific lesion, 12 cases (33.33%) were tuberculous granulomatous lymphadenitis, 16.66% were cases of suppurative lymphadenitis. In malignant lesions of lymph nodes, metastatic deposit of carcinoma and poorly differentiated carcinoma were the predominant pathology and lymphoma case was nil. FNAC of head and neck swelling is a worldwide accepted diagnostic modality. It is simple, inexpensive and rapid method for the diagnosis of head and neck lesion and avoids unnecessary surgery in the form of excision biopsy for diagnosis.

“…However, in our case, although the mass was huge, the slow growth of the mass for almost 15-years give us a clue that this is probably a benign tumour. Other differential diagnoses include malignant histocytomas, metastatic carcinomas, cystic hygroma, hematoma, muscle herniation or fibrous myositis (7) . Typically, a giant lipoma may have functional limitation due to excessive size and weight and the patient usually presents with pain, lymphedema or nerve compression syndromes.…”

Intramuscular lipoma is rare benign tumour rarely located in the head and neck region. It arises between the muscle fibres and passes through the intermuscular septa. Due to the infiltrative nature of the tumour, recurrence rate is higher than in other subcutaneous lipomas. Complete surgical excision of lipoma is often regarded as a definitive treatment modality and longterm follow-up is mandatory. Here we report a case of a 49-year-old male presenting with huge left neck mass measuring 12 × 10 cm, which was successfully removed. Computed tomography scan of the neck showed a well-defined septated lesion with a fat component in the right sternocleidomastoid muscle, and the histopathology examination confirmed the diagnosis of well-circumscribed intramuscular sternocleidomastoid lipoma. Follow-up after one year showed no evidence of recurrence.

Lipomas are one of the most common mesenchymal tumors, and can develop in any fat-containing region of the body. They are typically located subcutaneously and consist of mature fatty tissue [1]. Lipomas on the trunk and limbs rarely present a diagnostic problem, and surgical excision is the mainstay of management [2]. Direct excision of the lipoma is the standard approach for surgery. However, direct excision may leave scars in cosmetically un
