脂肪瘤是由脂肪组织组成的良性肿瘤。它们可能局限于几乎所有的身体部位，并可能以巨大的形式存在。其中一些巨大的脂肪瘤可能转化为恶性肿瘤，并造成日常生活问题和生活质量下降。大量定位也限制身体功能。在本研究中，一名72岁的男性，在两年的时间里出现了一个肿大的肿块，由于他的身体状况，他不能仰卧，不能直立坐着，不能轻松地穿衣服，外出。经手术治疗，成功切除38 × 22 × 21 cm重3575 g的肿块。术后早期未发生并发症。术后48个月未发现复发，患者无任何主诉。手术的外观和功能效果及患者满意度均很好。术后患者的生活质量得到改善，身体功能的限制消失。人类最常见的间充质肿瘤是脂肪瘤。脂肪瘤是典型的生长缓慢的肿瘤；只有少数长得特别大。巨大脂肪瘤对日常生活和生活质量的影响应作为手术的指征进行评估。
Lipomas are benign tumours composed of adipose tissue. They may be localized in almost all body parts and may be in a giant form. Some of these giant lipomas may transform malignity and cause problems in daily living and detoriate quality of life. Mass localization also restrict body functions. In the present study, a 72-year-old man who presented with a mass enlarged in a time period of two years and because of this could not lie in the supine position, sit in an erect position and dress easily, go outside because of his physical appearance. With surgical treatment a 38 × 22 × 21 cm mass weighing 3575 g was successfully resected. Postoperative early phase complications did not occur. During 48 months of postoperative period, any recurrence was not detected and the patient was free of all his complaints. Cosmetic and functional results of the surgery and patient satisfaction were excellent. After surgery patient's quality of life was improved and restriction of body function was disappeared. The most common mesenchymal neoplasms in humans are lipomas. Lipomas are typically slow-growing tumours; only a few grow to an exceptionally large size. The effects of giant lipomas on daily living and quality of life should be evaluated as an indication for surgery.
