Abstract
Lipomas are a type of mesenchymal neoplasm that most commonly occurs in the subcutaneous compartment. distributed throughout the body. These tumors are most commonly found in the upper part of the body. Lipomas grow slowly and are usually small, weighing only a few grams. A link has been established between soft tissue trauma and the development of lipomas, which have been dubbed posttraumatic lipomas. We present a case of a solitary slowly evolving fronto-parietal scalp lipoma following a local blunt trauma.
