    Author: Derin AT, Güney K, Turhan M, Erdoğan A, Ağirdir BV.
    Journal: Kulak Burun Bogaz Ihtis Derg; 2009; 19(1):28-31. PubMed ID: 19793044.
    Abstract:
    Lipomas are one of the most frequently encountered benign tumors in any location. There is limited information about head and neck lipomas in the litetature and most data is in the form of case reports. Lipomas can rarely reach gigantic sizes and can invade surrounding tissues, especially skeletal muscles, and in this case they are called infiltrating lipomas. In this manuscript we report a case of cervical giant lipoma surrounding and infiltrating the common carotid artery which was treated by grafting carotid artery, and our diagnostic work-up and treatment procedure are discussed in the light of the literature.
