title: Concurrent large spindle cell and ordinary lipomas.
abstract: The number of reported coexistences of ordinary lipoma and spindle cell lipoma is very limited in the literature. We present a patient with neighboring large spindle cell lipoma and ordinary lipoma in the posterior neck. Clinical, radiologic, and histologic findings of the case are presented with distinguished figures. Complete surgical removal confirmed the diagnoses. These lipomatous tumors may develop coincidentally and magnetic resonance imaging is overtly adequate in identifying their nature.
