Case in brief

A patient presented with a large, indolent mass in the right supraclavicular region. It was diagnosed as an atypical lipomatous tumor, or well-differentiated liposarcoma, measuring 18 cm × 18 cm × 17 cm. The tumor was managed with complete surgical resection. The report describes the resection as effective and notes that complete removal is often curative for well-differentiated liposarcoma.

What made this case unusual

The tumor’s exceptionally large size in the supraclavicular fossa was the report’s distinguishing feature; the authors described it as the largest liposarcoma at this site reported in the literature.

Diagnostic / clinical pearl

A large, indolent supraclavicular mass may be an atypical lipomatous tumor or well-differentiated liposarcoma; complete surgical resection was effective in this case.
