Abstract

Lipoma, which is most common benign soft tissue tumor, is often developed after blunt trauma. Most superficial lipomas are asymptomatic and are noted incidentally on inspection, palpation or limitation of motion by patient. But deeper lipomas can produce symptoms by compression or impingement on adjacent structures. Here, we describe a 52-year-old male who found a lump between his neck and shoulder 2 weeks after a motor vehicle accident and been diagnosed as lipoma.
