AbstractLipomas are frequent benign soft-tissue tumors mainly located in the subcutis. Occasionally, subfascial or inter- or intramuscular lipomas are encountered. This case report describes the surgical management of a very rare giant intramuscular lipoma of the right biceps brachii muscle in a 71-year-old male patient. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging as well as intraoperative photographs depict the complexity of this case and aid in the discussion about indications for surgery, as management guidelines of these deep-seated tumors are still inconsistent.© 2020.
