A giant intermuscular lipoma, an exceedingly rare occurrence, constitutes a non-malignant neoplasm originating from the mesodermal germ cell layer, with dimensions surpassing 10 cm. Its differentiation from liposarcoma and other malignant tumours is imperative. We present a case involving a 75-year-old woman who initially raised suspicions of liposarcoma due to pronounced enlargement and fullness in the upper quadrants of the left breast. After comprehensive imaging evaluations, the identification of a sizable BI-RADS 4a lesion positioned between the major and minor pectoral muscles of the left breast was found. The definitive diagnosis of an exceedingly rare giant intramuscular lipoma was validated solely subsequent to the surgical excision of the lipoma, through histological analysis.

Article Synopsis
- - Complex abdominal wall hernias are tough for surgeons to fix, especially when there’s a lot of abdominal content missing, making traditional repair methods insufficient.
- - In cases of complex ventral wall hernias, surgeons may need to first manage the disproportion of internal organs before attempting a hernia repair.
- - A novel method involving tissue expanders was used in a successful two-stage operation for an adult with complications from a congenital omphalocele, combined with a technique called anterior component separation to enhance abdominal wall repair.

Article Synopsis
- A six-year-old boy with musculocontractural Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (mcEDS) experienced a fall that resulted in a large hematoma in his left leg and temporary loss of consciousness.
- Blood tests confirmed he was in hemorrhagic shock due to significant bleeding, leading to his admission to the ICU for treatment.
