A 65-year-old patient with multiple lipomas of various body regions presented to the Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic in Bialystok to treat a giant lipoma of the face and neck. After undergoing in-depth diagnostics (CT of this area), the patient was qualified and prepared for planned surgery in the clinic. The treatment of choice was a complete surgical excision of the lipoma. The intra- and postoperative course was uneventful. Postoperative histopathological examination confirmed the tentative diagnosis established on the basis of the fine-needle aspiration biopsy and clinical examination.
