Diagnosis: Left breast giant lipoma
Lipoma is one of the most common benign neoplasms derived from fatty tissue.
Giant lipomas are defined as lesions that have a diameter of at least 10 cm or a weight of more than 1,000 g.
Physical examination is often of little diagnostic use, especially in large or deep tumors.
