RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Lipoma is the most common benign tumor of adipose tissue. Giant lipoma of the breast is defined as lesions larger than 10 cm and weighing more than 1000 g. A breast lipoma rapidly enlarging and fast growing; can be managed as a malignant tumor. It is crucial to make a correct diagnosis to prevent an overtreatment. CASE PRESENTATION: A 48-year-old patient presented with a painless, huge rapidly growing tumor in her right breast. Physical examination and imaging studies was suggestive of benign lipomatous breast tumor: A breast lipoma, a fibroadenolipoma or adenolipoma, an angiolipoma, or a breast fatty hamartoma. The patient underwent surgical excision of the mass, and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a giant breast lipoma. DISCUSSION: Giant breast lipoma is a rare benign tumor that develops in the breast tissue. They can mimic various breast conditions, even neoplastic conditions. Giant breast lipomas are often treated with surgical excision to avoid recurrence. CONCLUSION: Giant breast lipoma rapidly growing can pose a diagnostic challenge due to its resemblance to various benign or malignant pathologies. Unnecessary invasive investigations can be avoided with better understanding and improved imaging-based diagnosis of giant breast lipoma.
