A giant thoraco abdominal wall lipoma in a child.

Lipomas are benign mesenchymatous soft tissue tumours occurring mostly in the subcutaneous areas of the body. They are usually asymptomatic painless swellings, presenting with a large size in adults. Giant lipomas are rarely reported in adults as well as in children. A case of giant lateral thoracoabdominal wall lipoma in a child has been reported here.
