Abstract

Lipomas are benign tumors and are most common mesenchymal soft tissue tumors, composed of mature lipocytes. Frequent site are trunk and extremities. Axilla is an uncommon site of lipoma while giant axillary lipomas are rare. We report a case of recurrence of small axillary lipoma into giant axillary lipoma following excision.
