ABSTRACT

Lipomas are asymptomatic, slow-growing, elastic consistency and usually lobulated surface soft tissue tumors. They are more frequently identified in obese and female individuals. Two groups are distinguished by their location: a) cutaneous or superficial, and b) deep. It is presented a clinical case treated at the General Surgery Service of "La Victoria" Integral Diagnostic Center, Caroni municipality, Bolivar State, Venezuela. The patient came to consultation presenting a pedunculated soft tissue tumor, in left gluteal region, uneven surface, 24 cm long with ischemic lesions, painless. The main dilemma in the differential diagnosis is established with liposarcoma and other malignant soft tissue tumors. Surgery is the mainstay in the treatment.
