Abstract
Lipomas are common, benign, soft tissue masses in adults. Sarcomatous change within a giant lipoma is a very rare event. We present a case of a woman presenting with a forearm lipoma that subsequently developed a central, well-differentiated, spindle-cell sarcoma within the lipoma. This case underlines the importance of identifying red flags for referral of soft tissue tumours. © BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2019. No commercial re-use. See rights and permissions.
