Abstract
Lipomas are one of the commonest mesenchymal tumours in adults which are slow-growing benign soft-tissue tumors. Although most lipomas are <5cm in size, giant lipomas >10cm have also been reported in different parts of the body that rarely occur in head and neck region. Infiltrating lipoma is an uncommon mesenchymal neoplasm when a patient presents with a large, rapidly progressing infiltrating lipoma of the head and neck region, the possibility of malignancy should be kept in mind.
