Résumé

Lipomas are very common benign lumps that could be encountered in any part of the body but with limited proportion being present in the head and neck region. In this article, three different cases of symptomatic cervical lipomas were illustrated, with their different diagnostic as well as therapeutic approaches and will be discussed in light of medical literature. These cervical tumors tend to grow slowly giving variable signs that include dysphagia, dyspnea, dysphonia due to the mass effect of surrounding structures or can be present as simple as a cosmetic concern. Clinicians must bear in mind the malignant transformation of lipomas, which can be challenging to diagnose. With this article, authors will try to highlight the importance of maintaining a good communication between surgeons, pathologists and radiologists as an essential part of the medical management.
