Although lipomas are common entity in the literature but giant lipoma is rare disease. We are reporting a case in an adult patient who presented with a huge swelling in the right arm. It was present over the lateral aspect of the upper limb. Surgical excision of the tumour was done. In follow – up of 9 months, patient is
doing well with all normal movements without any neurological deficient. Although, it is not the only case reported, giant lipoma of the upper limb is very uncommon.
