title: Subpectoral post-traumatic lipoma.
abstract: Although post-traumatic lipomas have been reported in various sites, a subpectoral location has, to the best of our knowledge, not previously been described. We report on the clinicopathological, radiological, intraoperative and postoperative details of a post-traumatic subpectoral lipoma in a 35-year-old black African female.
