  ABSTRACT: Head and neck lipomas are fairly common but their presentation in areas like submandibular, submental and sublingual regions are rarely seen. Lipomas are generally asymptomatic and gradually progressive in size, causing aesthetic and functional deficits. Surgical excision remains the mainstay of treatment. Radiological investigations like CECT and MRI play a critical role in diagnosis and management of these lesions. We describe a case of a giant lipoma involving the sublingual, submandibular and submental region, and its management.
