Retroperitoneal lipomas have remained the essentially rare tumors seen in clinical practice. There are very few reported cases in surgical literature worldwide.Case: The authors report a case of giant retroperitoneal lipoma in a 35-year-old female, with a history of pain and abdominal distension. Abdominal ultrasonography and CT scan of abdomen showed a large mass located in the retroperitoneal space. Laparotomy showed a large encapsulated tumor measuring 40 x 30 x 10 cm and weighing 8kg. The histological study revealed a benign neoplasm of fatty cells. The patient had a good postoperative performance status. Conclusion: Lipomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a solid tumor in the retroperitoneal space and treatment of retroperitoneal lipomas is eminently surgical.
