title: [Recurrent retroperitoneal giant lipoma (author's transl)].
abstract: A giant lipoma weighing 9.1 kg situated retroperitoneally which was removed by operation from a 74-year-old woman is reported. The diagnosis of tumors is discussed. The characteristics of this primary benign tumor such as the rapid growth, tendency to malignant degeneration and recurrence make radical surgical removal necessary.
