Cervicothoracic lipoma in a child: A case report
Despite their benign nature, cases such as the one presented here demonstrate the capability of lipomas to adhere to and involve surrounding critical structures, particularly when located in the cervicothoracic region and occurring in younger patients. However, with careful surgical planning involving cross-sectional imaging, such lesions can successfully be completely resected through a single cervical incision without morbidity.
