Abstract:
Lipoma is one of the most common benign soft tissue tumors. The most common location of lipomas is in areas of abundant adipose tissue. Reports of a lipoma in the foot exist, but toe lipomas are rare. The case presented is one of a large, expanding lipoma engulfing the lateral aspect of the third toe and the whole of the third web space. It measured 10 cm in diameter. This was successfully removed surgically. To the best of our knowledge, the size of this lipoma is probably one of the largest ever reported in the toes of an adult.
