Abstract: Lipoma is the most common superficial benign tumor in clinical practice. Generally, lipoma is small in size. Giant lipoma is not common, and giant lipoma in tendon sheath is rare. We reports a case of axillary subcutaneous lipoma and giant lipoma in the tendon sheath. The preoperative diagnosis was a surface lipoma for the lack of clinical experience. Only color Doppler ultrasound is performed in the outpatient clinic. The preoperative examination was not sufficient, so the difficulties of the surgery was increased. We share the process for the clinician.
