J Dermatol Surg Oncol. 1985 Nov;11(11):1070-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1524-4725.1985.tb01395.x.

Abstract

Six cases of giant lipomas were treated by liposuction surgical removal. The method involves only a 1-cm incision and insertion of a liposuction cannula. The fibrous stroma of the lipoma may be more difficult to remove. Liposuction is a safe and easy method of removing giant lipomas.
