Abstract:
Benign symmetric lipomatosis is a rare disease and may appear as a huge tumor in the neck. Four benign symmetric lipomatosis associated with gigantic painless mass or neck motion limitation were reported. Operative technique of one-time radical resection or stage resection was used to remove these tumors. One patient had a postoperative complication of incision effusion and infection, and three patients had no significant complication. At more than one-year follow-up, the motion and appearance of a patient's neck returned to normal, and no recurrence was observed. The etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease were discussed.
