Lipomas are benign soft tissue tumors whose etiologies are unknown. Only about 13% grow in the head and neck, while the majority is found in the subcutaneous tissues.

description Lipomas are benign soft tissue tumors whose etiologies are unknown. Only about 13% grow in the head and neck, while the majority is found in the subcutaneous tissues. We present a case report of a 65-year-old male presented with a huge parieto-temporal region of the scalp and literature review of the same. Wide local excision followed by skin grafting and biopsy was done. The histopathology report revealed lipoma with secondary changes. Postoperatively the patient recovered well and showed no signs of recurrence after one year. Such huge lipomas of the head are quite rare and require thorough investigation to rule out metastasis. Key words: lipoma, head tumors, head and neck surgery
