Abstract
A 67-year-old female had a soft cervical mass for more than 20 years. The extirpated mass weighed 800g and was 20×20×20cm in size and surrounded by a fibrous membrane. The second case was a 40-year-old female who noted a cervical mass accidentally. The extirpated mass weighed 35 g and measured 8×6×3cm. In both cases, preoperative CT scans showed a hypo-dense mass with the same density as normal fat tissue. Although lipomas are common cervical benign tumors, such a large mass as was present in the first case has rarely been reported. In both patients, the postoperative course was good and there has been no recurrence.
