description Lipomas are benign soft tissue tumours that can occur anywhere on the body and are rarely encountered on the chest. The pathophysiology between soft tissue trauma and lipoma development is not fully understood, and various theories have been presented. We present the case of a violinist with a 40-year occupational history who presented with swelling of the left upper chest wall. The microscopic sample of the resected lipoma showed inflammatory cells with fat necrosis, which are features thought to be involved in the development of a lipoma following soft tissue trauma.
