Abstract

Very few cases of giant fibrolipomas are listed in literature and there are none upon our review that list abscess and necrosis within the mass. Fibrolipomas represent a rare benign skin growth that typically are small in size (1). This is a rare case in which an ulcerated and infected mass caused early sepsis.
