In rare cases, their size may be so giant which could be an indication for surgery. Here, we present a case of congenital multiple asymmetrical giant lipomas of the back in a young female. She presented with a chief complaint of physical discomfort due to the giant size and weight of the lipomas. Apart from that, she was in total health. She was born with 5 small lipomas in the back and flank region which had become giant lipomas with estimated weigh around 16 kg in total by the age of 24. The patient underwent seven operations to remove or debulk the mass over a 24-year period since the recurrence of the growths was inevitable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
