To the left is a CT axial soft tissue neck image. The large dark oval you see is a lipoma of the neck. Lipomas are benign tumors composed of mature fat cells. They usually develop as discrete rubbery masses in the subcuateous tissues of the trunk and proximal extremity. Lipomas are the most common type of soft tissue tumors. They can usually be removed they surgical excision or liposuction.
