Lipomas are benign, slow-growing tumors that develop from soft tissues. They are common tumors, but their occurrence in the cephalic region is significantly rarer. Objective: To report a case of a giant lipoma at the cervico-thoracic junction and describe the surgical approach used for its excision. Case presentation: A 15-year-old child presented with a progressively enlarging mass in the supraclavicular region. The patient was taken to the operating room for tumor excision. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a large lipoma. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and no recurrence was observed after 12 months of follow-up. Conclusion: Giant cervical lipomas are extremely rare. Their management relies exclusively on surgical excision, with definitive diagnosis based on histological examination of the resected specimen. Long-term postoperative surveillance is recommended due to the risk of recurrence.
