Lipomas are benign subcutaneous tumors arising from adipocytes. Although they are the most common tumors found in the body, their presentation in the head and neck region is relatively infrequent. Further, the most common site of presentation in the neck is the posterior part. Here we are presenting a case of a giant lipoma occupying both anterior and posterior triangles of the neck, lying deep to the sternocleidomastoid muscle with retrosternal extension.
