Lipomas are a common soft-tissue tumor of mesenchymal origin, but intermuscular lipomas are very infrequently found especially in the cervical region. Although lipoma itself rarely causes complications, an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment are important. Surgical excision is indicated for deep lipomas that are 5 cm or larger, grow, or are accompanied by symptoms such as pain. It is also important to differentiate malignant tumors through pathological examination. Since the size of the lipoma was large, lipoma was divided into several pieces to successful removal, and the patient in this case showed successful recovery after surgery.
