Giant Retroperitoneal Fibrolipoma - A Case Report.
Lipomas are common benign adipose tumours generally located at superficial locations but deep seated lipomas are rather infrequent out of which retroperitoneal location of giant lipoma is rare. Fibrolipoma is one of the uncommon variant of lipoma. There is no different evidence in clinical profile, management, and prognosis of fibro lipoma from other variants of lipomas. Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Here we present a case of 13 year old lady with giant retroperitoneal fibrolipoma which was completely excised through laparotomy. And the patient remains well one year after surgery without recurrence of the disease.
