Background And Purpose
Method
We report the history of a 3-year-old boy with a giant intraosseous lipoma in his left frontal region when he came to our hospital for treatment. The head computed tomography scan showed a left frontal plate with an oval low density, and the boundary was clear. The lesion affected the normal appearance of the child. He had experienced varying degrees of recurrent growth after 2 operations. At the last follow-up examination, the appearance of the patient had improved greatly.repeated relapses.
Conclusion
For large intraosseous lipomas occurring in the skull, owing to its special position and the tendency for repeated relapses to develop, extending the excision is an effective surgical approach. For swelling involving a wide range, surgery should involve specialists in craniofacial surgery.
